Re: Code Snippets

Thanks for the responses.

We are considering writing it ourselves, but I didn't want to go down that
road (and expense) without checking first if someone had already developed
it.

Can anyone recommend some good plugin development tutorials that are not
obsolete?

Thanks,

Or, better yet, write your own plug-in; then you have complete control!

My suggestion would be:

Clearly define what you are looking for and get everyone to vote for it

We are not satisfied with the snippets and templates features of RDPi

for

our RPG programmers and are looking for another solution.

Requirements:
Injecting a block of code should be capable from content assist
(ctrl-space) regardless of whether the cursor is in a free format block

or

not.
If replaceable variables are found in the code block, it should present

an

interface for filling those values in.
Filling in replaceable variable values should be able to be done all

from

the keyboard without mouse interaction.
Code blocks must be pulled in from a central repository; the plugin must
not source them from the local PC

Is there a plugin out there that can do this already in RDPi or is it
possible to be developed as a plugin?

Can anyone point us in a good direction?
