[Geany-Users] Snippets that enclose code

[Mike Miller]

Hi,

I wanted to create a snippet to enclose a line of code in a function call.  But 
going to the end of the line and writing the closing ) was always extra and made 
the snippet only a bit better than just typing it.

Looking in the snippet docs I saw nothing for and %end% or %home% key 
unfortunately.  But the {command:...} seemed interesting.  I managed to get 
something working on Linux with this:

     [lang]

     j=join({command:xdotool key End parenright}


So, I'm happy that it works to enclose a line with join(…) however it looks like 
it would be useful for the standard snippet syntax to handle those keys.  Maybe 
other hotkeys as well.

What do y'all think?
