I certainly use snippets, but not the standard ones you're talking about. I use snippets for things I can't easily remember or are laborious to type out. e.g. I have some lorem ipsum as a default snippet under the key "lorem", cdata encapsulation for XML/HTML/PHP, and a bunch of classic ASP stuff under HTML for when I'm forced to work on that old crap because I can never remember how to use ADO prepared statements and recordsets efficiently :) So yes, from my perspective these common snippets aren't all that interesting because they're so basic and not really all that much of a time saver, at least for any programmer who can type as fast as they can think. I wouldn't put too much effort into it. As an aside, I reckon the most useful snippets would be regex search / replace snippets, because they really do something. I've pushed a few commonly typed regex search/replaces into (sh/sed|python) scripts that I can call from Send Selection To, but I have too many to fit under that list. So I still have a Cunning Plan (tm) to implement a regex snippets plugin someday, unless some kind soul beats me to it (hint!) -- Ross McKay, Toronto, NSW Australia "It doesn't matter if the Rock wants to go get diamond rings or not!" - The Rock _______________________________________________ Geany-devel mailing list Geany-devel@uvena.de https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel
