This is why I think the keywords for the programming language would be a nice snippet triggers - People tend to remember the keywords ;) So a function would be: Ruby: def⇥ scala: def⇥ Java: fun⇥ C: fun⇥ This ofc. means that to create a function you wont type the same characters in each bundle but at least you can 'guess' the keyword trigger on the fly. We can even make this backwards compatible by using the 'short-cut snippets' approach explained in the first mail: C++/Obj-C: ‘cl⇥’ => 'class⇥' => class snippet code Ruby: ‘cla⇥’ => 'class⇥' => class snippet code Python/PHP: 'class⇥' => class snippet code _______________________________________________ textmate-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macromates.com/listinfo/textmate-dev
