I understand what you mean. I do a lot of LaTeX and found a very
comprehensive set for it years ago. However there's so much in there
that a more streamlined 'smarter' set would be more useful. It's on
my todo list.

Exactly. I think for a start, for each predefined language, a simple
function clipping would be great. More than just "def #insertion#():"
for Python for example. I started playing around with this the other
day:
---
#INDENT#def #selstart##selectionorplaceholder function##selend#
(#selstart# args #selend#):
"""#selstart# docstring for #selection# #selend#"""
#selstart# body of function #selend#
---
However, I'm thinking of writing a language aware Applescript to
generate functions, either empty ones or language specific ones (like
__init__ for Python). I've already got a rudimentary version of it
working for Python, but I would like to expand it. Maybe next week.
Do any of you think it would be good to have a central repository for
clippings and scripts? Maybe something that Barebones could host? And
if some of the sets/scripts/etc. were polished enough, maybe they
could be bundled with the application...
