Code Snippet management

[Erich]

Do any of you use any outside programs for GDL code snippet management? Searching through my parts for that piece of code that fits my current needs, just isn't cutting it anymore.

I have found, and am currently trying, a program called CodeBox that seems fairly good (and has fantastic developer response). Does anyone have other ideas (Mac based)?


Also, if anyone else is using CodeBox, do you have a TextMate .tmTheme for it that works for GDL (to provide syntax highlighting)?

OK so I emailed the developer (Vadim) and whilst you cannot add languages yourself he did say:

"There is no way to add the new highlight into CodeBox manually.
However, I would add it myself if you share .tmSyntax with me.

So the next version of the app would bring support for GDL snippets "

So if i manage to get a syntax working it may make it into Codeboxs' language library. A little daunting!

Thank You Owen for sharing your work with us.
Great Job!
Code Collapsing is a great feature for overlooking the Code;
if you are writing disciplined code (e.g. in the coordinate transformations)

Updated:

- Small fix to regex used to identify keyword boundaries via adjacent whitespace characters. Should now correctly work with only single whitespace between keywords

cheers,

There is another great (if not the best) editor out there, called Sublime Text. It runs on all platforms.

I made a package that gives you syntax highlighting, auto completion and snippets. Please look at the Github page for more detailed infos.

runxel,

this is really great .. something like this should have been built into the AC GDL editor a long time ago

almost makes me want to dust of an unfinished GDL project and finish it

Hello Owen!
Thank you very much for your commendation (my warmest thanks to you too, Jochen, of course!).
