- Snippets are just useless, as there is an overload on panels as is, but to get to snippets you have limited realestate. Furthermore you can't bind keys to these snippets (loved that feature the most in > CFS).
I hear quite a few people complain about this and I know the DW product team are aware of those complaints. I've never used 'snippets' in any code editor I've ever worked with. What sort of things do folks use this feature for?
My four main uses of this are:
A) Documentation: I have a documentation "header" I drop into the top of every page. It includes many standard elements such as my name and company, plus a lot of page specific information that I fill in such as a description of the template, the name of the template, the date, etc..
B) Comments. It is nice to be able to comment out sections of code just by highlighting and hitting a keystroke.
C) Sample queries that grab the ID of a recently inserted item
D) A sample cfapplication tag. Just pop it in fill in the blanks.
There are many more things which snippets can be used for. If you explore them (Even in DW w/o the ability to assign hotkeys) you may wonder why you haven't been using them before. That is what I thought when I started using them.
