Code Snippet Library

[juls]

UltraEdit looks fantastic so far!

Just wondering: does UltraEdit have a code snippet library or something similar to store frequently used bits of code? Zend Studio has this and it is useful, but Zend is so slooooow... Used the evaluation for 30 days and it almost drove me mad. UltraEdit, on the other hand, is super fast! If there is not a code library in UltraEdit, is there a library that can integrate with UltraEdit.

Thanks

Hi Juls

UltraEdit has 50 templates!
Pull down menu "Advanced" --> "Display/Modify Templates..."

You can name the templates and the first 20 have keystrokes assigned to them. Alt-0 thur Alt-9 & Alt Shift 0 thur Alt Shift 9.

I'm thinking that's as close to snippet library as UE has.

In the Help file lookup "Display/Modify Templates command"

Lets see what others come up with.

I misuse the taglist for that. The original taglist is a simple textfile with its own syntax, and you can write own versions of this file, not containing html-tags, but code snippets. Even some regular expressions are possible in UE-syntax, for example "^p" for a line wrap, if you need snippets containing more than one line.

With a right click in the taglist, and then opening the dialogue and quitting it with "ok", the file will be checked, sorted and overwritten and also the taglist is actualized then.

I now use an own taglist for code snippets up to 10 lines, and with a count of more than 50 different in 5 groups without problems, and it works fine. But it's a bit of work, some more than copy'n paste, because of replacing line wraps with "^p", setting quotation marks and so on...

Thanks for the replies!

I'm going to try both solutions right now.
