The ablility to have several files, which can have some meta data in them (such as a title) and the ability to set mimetype association pr item/file. And as a user I want to be able to select which files to be active. -anders Interestingly, this seems to be related to something that I suggested some time ago related to KDevelop's snippet support: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106165 Maybe we could start to combine the various ideas in order to come up with a generic design that could be useful for either purpose? Basically, any sort of snippet module should probably not have to bother in what type of application (editor vs. IDE) it is used? That way we would also avoid duplicate work because much of the code could be re-used. I do not use Windows but the other day I saw a presentation of a MS Visual Studio on which the presenter would paste some pre-defined code to gain presentation. The code appears listed in a dock window with custom labels, rather then the actual code. Sometimes I need to make presentations and demo projects on which it would be a great help to be able to use a dock window for the same purpose as Visual Studio's. It seems this code snippets plug-in is exactly what I am looking for. If so, is there an expected release plan for this feature request? Note: I am using Kate 2.4.1 (KDE 3.4.2). I don't know if this feature was implemented in later versions. Since this request is opened I assumed that the feature is not yet implemented. *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** Do not forget also du some kind of Groups and items like in kdevelop snippets and the ability to show them according to language (highlighting style). It would be also good idea to add to rightclick menu in kate some point to snippets Is this fixed, Milian? Snippet plugins already supports multiple repositories and GHNS. A merged version of the kate and the kdevelop gui is moved into the kate part itself |
