Features
The extension adds commands for quickly copying and pasting code as a snippet. Snippets allow you to add templates, that can be replaced when inserting, simply by tabbing through each of them. Additionally it adds some extra functionality around snippets:
- Creating snippets from the current selection (with multi cursor support)
- Creating snippets from the current clipboard content
- Select from numbers, variables, strings and duplicate phrases
- transform integers into counter templates, that increment with each paste
- Editing sippets before pasting them
- Pasting snippets with templates that automatically increment / decrement a value
- Paste previous snippets again (History size can be adjusted and works across windows)
