I think I have a clip with will do what I want. I named it "Cmt" and the Desc column is: /* \1 */. The problem is I can't figure out how to assign it to a hotkey combination, or get it to appear next to the other clip buttons on the toolbar near H1...H5, and P. I read the Sigil userguide but it's from v0.7.2 and doesn't mention how to assign hot keys to a clip. It just says it can be done.
Are you perhaps conflating calibre Editor's Snippets feature with Sigil's clips? They're not the same thing at all.

Edit ==> Preferences ==> Keyboard Shortcuts (tab)
Default shortcuts for clips are CTRL+ALT+num where num is the number of the clip from 1 to 9 plus 0 (for 10).
