Code snippets in this IDE area are very similar to standard editor macros. The "snippets" defined here can easily be applied in any file matching the group extension.

Code snippets are applied using the following syntax:

//code snippet// + <;SPACE>

//Code snippet// is the name defined in the //Snippet// entry.

In the Text Editor, press **CTRL + J** to pop up a list of defined code snippets. You can select any item in the pop up list, and press the <;ENTER> key to apply it.

Code snippets defined are case sensitive. In addition, the file extensions defined in the group are also case sensitive. For example, add **.CLW;.Clw;.clw** in order to be sure that you could pop up a Code Snippets regardless of the case of the Extension on the file that you are editing.
