Advanced snippets

[kaare]

Ticket #97 requested a snippets feature. It was closed with the following features

• List snippets by programming language, context sensitive to what is in current editor window
• Add, edit snippet
• Insert text anywhere in a document

But to have it do anything really usefull we need

• Quickly insert text (perhaps this will be done with ticket #151
• sub argument unpacking with or without $self
• Boilerplate for a script, class
  • It needs to be closely tied to typing text
  • It needs to indent things properly
  • It needs to leave the cursor at a useful location
  • It may have other useful locations registered and provide an easy way to jump between them
  • It may have mirrored input, so you don't need to enter the same text twice (names)
• Look at Emacs yasnippet, Textmate

Padre::Plugin::Snippet handles this.
