Snippets

Snippets let you store content for quick reuse.

How to use a snippet

To use a snippet,


•	Open the Snippets view (View > Snippets) and click on a snippet line.
•	Or, use the shortcut for that snippet.

Create a snippet by clicking the edit icon of the left.

This dialog lets you create, clone and delete snippets. A snippet has a Name, an optional Shortcut and a text that will be placed in the editor.

Surrounding text by a snippet

The | (bar character) indicates the caret (text cursor) or the selection when the snippet is actually used. For instance:


•	When a snippet with text <!--\|--> is used and there's no text selected in the active document, text <!----> is inserted in the active document and the caret (text cursor) is placed in between <!-- and -->.
•	When a snippet with text <!--\|--> is used and text hello is selected in the active document, text hello is replaced by <!--hello--> and the caret (text cursor) is placed just after <!--hello-->.
