PHP IDE :: NuSphere Forums :: View topic - some advanced shortcut / code completion?

Posted: Tue Aug 10, 2004 3:36 am

After evaluating a couple of PHP-IDEs I now decided to move from HomeSite to PHPed.

There was one feature on Homesite which was very useful and I miss in PhpEd - or just wasn't able to find. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It would be very handy if I could create a code template which acts in dependence of what is marked at the moment. So that I can mark some words, then launch the code template and the code template adds text before and after the marked text.

As an example:

I often have to copy'n'paste some text into scripts and then echo them as predefined text.

Code:

This is my text, which i pasted into my document.

Mark all the text, hit Ctrl-J, choose "Echo"

And here we are:

Code:

echo ("<p class="">This is my text, which i pasted into my document.</p>");

... the cursor placed between the parenthesis of the class attibute.

Another one:

Code:

"This is some example text with a link in it"

I will mark the words "a link", then hit Ctrl-j and choose my created "href"-code template.

And here I am:

Code:

"This is some example text with <a href="">a link</a> in it"

... with my cursor placed between the "".

then if I was able to assign a shortcut to a code template (let's say hitting Ctrl-Shift-a for the Anchor Tag or Ctrl-Shift-e for the echo Tag) I would be happy as well!
