Description Gregor Mi 2019-01-13 00:10:16 UTC 
Hello, how is the Quick Coding plugin currently supposed to work?

1. I looked at src/frameworks/ktexteditor/src/script/data/files/quickcoding/cpp/c.template and https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2013/03/goodbye-zen-coding-hello-emmet/ (Quick Code was modeled after Zen Code says quickcoding.js)

2. I entered "class" (without "") into a cpp file

3. and invoked Expand Abbriviation. Nothing happens.
Comment 1 Dominik Haumann 2019-01-30 18:16:16 UTC 
In ktexteditor.git, I can find in the code this comment:

     * construct abbreviation object
     * e.g. for c#n:Test#p:Parent => { "n" => "Test", "p" => "Parent" }

Testing this with highlighting C++: c#n:Point <Ctrl>+<Alt>+# indeed expands to the class defined in ktexteditor/src/script/data/files/quickcoding/cpp/c.template

Some years ago this was added, mostly as test. It still works, but never left the testing stage. It probably lacks a proper UI, and I think this should rather be a plugin (like external tools etc...).
Comment 2 Justin Zobel 2020-11-13 03:33:35 UTC 
I agree this should likely just be a plugin addon.
Comment 3 Christoph Cullmann 2022-05-07 18:44:20 UTC 
That can just be removed, was never documented nor finalized by me.
