Snippets plugin
The snippets plugin allows you to record reusable pieces of code. There are two categories of snippets:
- insert strings
- search and replace patterns
Snippets are organized in branches. The first time you open Bluefish 2 you have no snippets. You have to create them, or import a set of snippets.
- Bluefish 1.3 users
- you can copy your old snippets to Bluefish 2
$ cp ~/.bluefish-unstable/snippets ~/.bluefish/ - Bluefish 1.0 users
- to import your Bluefish 1 Custom menu in snippets you can use Olivier's python script convert_custom_menu_to_snippets.py.
- put convert_custom_menu_to_snippets.py in ~/.bluefish/ directory
- make the script executable: $ chmod a+x convert_custom_menu_to_snippets.py
- run the script: $ ./convert_custom_menu_to_snippets.py > mysnippets.xml
- import mysnippets.xml in your snippets plugin.
- You also can find useful snippets in Snippets repository
