(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kdevelop
Version:           KDE 3.0.0 
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

Snippet feature is very useful while doing some repetitive work(writing comment for a function basic program etc).
CodeWright does support generic snippets which prompt the user for some input as specified in snippet and generates a specific text.

For example a snippet can be

/*
 * Function : %FUNCTION%
 * Description: %DESCRIPTION%
 */

When we run the above snippet it prompt the user for FUNCTION and DESCRIPTION and generates the following text.
( Assuming Values given b the user are 'MyFunction' and 'My Description' respectively)

Output:

/*
 * Function : MyFunction
 * Description: My Description
 */


A snippet file should describe the type of input fields and the data. From the description of input fields a form can be generated dynamically and shown to user ( or prompt for each input field wiered)

Your wish is granted by Robert Gruber who wrote snippet part for KDevelop. It can be downloaded from http://kmp3indexer.sourceforge.net/misc/.
Leaving this open till the release. Then snippet part will be included into KDevelop source tree.

snippet part is now in HEAD (KDE >= 3.2) branch of KDevelop.
