Hi @Justin99b,

thanks for creating a feature request. Do you have any idea how this recognition is supposed to work? What do you think would be a good solution?

Thanks Your Futureglobe Support Team

Take a look at the Sourcecode of Notepad++ it hast that feature :). I can image that this would be pretty hard but I think RegEx would be a good soulution.

For instance In Java you have this Format for classes

package Some.Class.Name; import blabla (Not there everytime but usually there if there is anything declared in the class)

public class Main { } now here is the problem that public class Main all can be something different what makes it difficult to make a perfect RegEx for it.

but you also check the title of the Snip for instance "New Snippet.java"

it realy depends on the Programm language so its not that easy

Hi @Justin99b

We will analyse in more detail whether we can realize the functionality you want in our current system. Also thanks for the links we will take a closer look at. Currently we have no intention to implement this function as soon as possible. If there should be such a functionality in the future we will update this issue.

Thank you for your feedback Your Futureglobe Support Team
