### Description
I have noticed the current palette system does not easily allow adding
additional items. This seems quite outdated and there is really no reason that
one should need to edit netbeans libraries to add items.
Even adding customization GUI panels could easily be done using placeholder
variables and configurable input fields.
Using a format like {label, field type, default value, hint} and "Some Text
as" literals or using $ like in php to call or define a $variable = ; to
organize more complex/longer default values.
Something like:
<div class="{style, input, $defaultValue, "hint text"}"> {inner, textField,
"hello world","hint text"} </div>
Would create a form with an input and text field to customize the code
snippet.
This would already cover 99% of use cases but obviously there are several
more advanced features such as conditions, loops, and macro templates that can
expand the usefulness of the palette/snippets.
### Use case/motivation
I believe this will speed up the process of implementing the ever-growing
mass of framework components, writing better code without constantly having to
look things up.
