Hi all, this is my first posting to the geany mail list! I've been looking for a replacement for Editplus (excellent windows text editor... but now I completely debian/ubuntu based) to do my coding (php/perl/sql) and Geany looks like it might be sufficient.
What I need to be able to do ( I'm not sure if "snippets" can actually do it) is as follows: 1. Bring up a list that has all my little fragments of code. THis will not replace any text it simply will be inserted at the cursor point 2. I would like to search quickly my fragments e.g mysql_connect will insert the 4 or 5 lines have the mysql_connect code with my username passwords host etc in it 3. Once I find the correct fragment I click on it and it inserts the code into the editor at the cursor point. 4. I have different lists as well. e.g phpcode,perlcode,actionscript code, etc
Can Geany do this? If so I would greatly appreciate some assistance on how to set this up.
I do apologise if this is what snippets can do, because my understanding of it is different to what I've outlined above. I did search the archives but could find exactly my scenario
thanks all Sam
