Tim Heuer, as usual, is putting me in the know. It appears that my complaint regarding Visual Studio's lack of a code snippet editor is being rectified by the community. Check out:
Snippy
A quick note on installation: No shortcuts are placed anywhere, and by default the program files are installed to: C:\Program Files\PowerToys for Visual Studio 8\Snippy. If you'd like to be able to launch this from within Visual Studio, you can do so easily:
- In VS2005, Tools >> External Tools
- Click Add
- Title: Snippy (or whatever you want)
- Command: C:\Program Files\PowerToys for Visual Studio 8\Snippy\Snippy.exe
- Click Ok
Unfortunately, it doesn't yet seem to know where your Code Snippets directory is to help you out w/ opening and saving, and I couldn't pass that directory in as an Argument or an Initial Directory.
