Description michaelmezger 2008-12-19 21:11:20 UTC

Hi,

i have ideas for some improvements of the code template system:

1) Button for Available Variables: 
There is no overview about available "special-variables" within the code-template options. I had to ask for the vars in
the forum. So it would be great when you can add a Button like "Insert Variable". By clicking it, it expand a dropdown
with all available vars.

2) More Variables:
The available variables are very basic. Following Variables would be nice:
 * FunctionName
 * ClassName
 * Clipboard
 * ClipboardFirstLine
 * ClipboardFirstWord
 
3) At the moment there are two php-contexts/languages: php and php-documentor. A another enhancement would be a
additional languages: 
 * php-strings
 * sql-strings
Im writing sql-code quite often. The possibility to insert code in sql string via the code-template system would be very
helpful. SQL-Strings could be identified by the leading word in the string: SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE. (The ultimate
solution would be test against a sql keyword list)

best regards
Michael Mezger

Hi Michael, the attachment has probably wrong mimetype. Could you reattach it again with the png mimetype?
