Preview selected glyph in text like FontLab?

In FontLab, when I type something like n@n H@H in the preview panel, the @ character automatically shows the glyph that is currently selected in the glyph list, which makes it easy to preview the selected glyph in different text contexts.

Is there a similar feature in GlyphsApp that allows a character (like @) to represent the currently selected glyph for quick preview?

Try “Edit > Add Placeholder”. This works in the Edit View as the font view doesn’t have a preview.
