What does "snippets" mean? #11

Closed chris-martin closed 7 years ago

chris-martin commented 7 years ago

I didn't fill in the "Snippets" column in #9 because I don't know what feature that refers to.

Ah, I see.

In IntelliJ these are called "templates".

rainbyte commented 7 years ago

I cite my self from the PR:

Snippets are predefined pieces of code, some included by the plug-in, and you could add more by yourself. Example: if I write case, it would show the following as possible completion

case ___ of
  __ -> ___

It is mostly for pieces of code that you write very often.

rainbyte commented 7 years ago

Yes, I suppose it is the same... I did not list it as completion, because it is not something about intelligent completion, it is more about code predefined by plug-in or user, which could be used even via abreviations.

Ide's often have this feature natively, but does not alway provide Haskell snippets, which are provided via external plug-ins
