Read the Ghost search transcript

Search at your caret. A reply draft reads “Hi Morgan,”. Press Ctrl+Shift+S, the default shortcut, to open Ghost search just below the insertion caret. Type UPDATE. The search terms stay outside the draft.

Choose your saved text. The first match is a pinned history entry: “Update: the draft is ready for review.” Press Down to see a history entry: “Update: review is complete. We're ready for the next step.” Press Down again to see a Library item titled “Update follow-up”.

Apply and keep writing. Press Up to return to the history update, then Enter to insert it below the greeting. Esc would cancel the search. The Ghost preview closes and your chosen text is ready in the same reply.
