Comment on How do you manage code snippets?
perishthethought@lemm.ee 11 months agoThink about how you write code. Is it all new, or are there functions / API calls / whatever that you might re-use from time to time?
If that’s possible, think about how you go find that code now. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could type a short bit like, “funcA” and boom! your IDE filled in the whole function? Or, worst case, you flip over to another tool, find the snippet you want, copy and paste it into your work.
That’s what I am thinking about, at least. I’m just not sure how I want to get there yet.

You could just write a little terminal utility that puts the string literal of the snippet in your copy buffer with a little search and db for finding the right one and storing new ones— might have to have some weird cases for cross platform tho
