General Software Discussion / Re: In search of ... opinions on code snippet libraries

« on: July 04, 2012, 08:20 PM »

Good topic - I've also been underwhelmed by snippet managers. I use UltraEdit, and their snippet management is language sensitive, but I've talked them into making it so you can choose snippets from other languages while in a file. EditPlus does the same thing, except you can literally drag snippets into the snippet sidebar.

I've got two other hacked-together solutions; one is an AutoHotkey context menu that I hotkey to Win-Z that pops up a menu with some basic code snippets (open database/close database/insert header). I also have a small program that grabs the clipboard when I highlight over something to make a snippet, and saves it to a text file named for the language/basic function. So I can then use Everything or something like DTSearch or PowerGrep to search across those files and put the code in.

I *also* write tiny AHK guis to generate standard css/page templates for the ASP and PHP code I write. I click on what libraries to include, choose the style (1 or 2 column) and it opens a text file, fills in the spots that I've tagged, and then copies the output to the clipboard.

I have not yet found an easy, usable single solution to this, but I'm getting closer on my own FrankenCode.

General Software Discussion / Re: Software recommendations for writers

« on: July 18, 2011, 03:52 PM »

Sorry I lost track of this thread. I'll try to remember to throw up some of my macros. Mindmapping is good - I use MindManager primarily to outline/move ideas around then export to Word or something similar. I start out with common structures for types of articles and fill in the blanks if I'm really lost.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Show us your LaunchBar Commander Screenshots

Sorry for the wait. See here: http://screencast.com/t/hCUWNq65vy

Note I left clicked the explorer folder in the taskbar and the folder list came up behind Launchbar Commander. I have LBC set fixed.

Still can't get it to do that. It always wants to sit on top of the taskbar no matter what.

How are you all getting it to sit *below* the windows taskbar?

I've been doing this for a long time, both in teaching and in writing, and what I use is:

1. MindManager (any mindmapping tool that's fast will do) - it's indispensable for starting with a framework and a plan, for brainstorming, and even for writing large chunks of text.
2. WordWeb Pro (old version) - for the pop-up dictionary
3. Copious WORD MACROS. There were just some new ones out out for free here: http://www.soltys.ca...+%28Core+Dump+2.0%29

4. Millions of Autohotkey scripts to pop up commonly-used phrases/verbs and things for me that I create.
5. Style guides
6. Evernote and CintaNotes - Cinta is lightning-fast and can tag ideas/things so that I can pull them up quickly later.
7. Chrome/Firefox and many extensions - can go into these later
8. Breevy - for convenience when Autohotkey gets too cumbersome.

I'm thinking about putting together a page for these things, so I'm happy to answer any questions or brainstorm with y'all. I'm excited about this.

I wrote a real primitive version that's window sensitive in Autohotkey recently. Find the source at http://dl.dropbox.co...gram%20Shortcuts.zip

Would love to see a comparison of Breevy and PhraseExpress.

Breevy continually adds new things-  did you know that you can make a folder full of abbreviations pop up as a context menu in any window for you to choose an abbreviation?

No love for Breevy? I've been using it quite a bit. Let me know if there's something I"m missing out on with other programs...
