Code Templates

Previous Top Next |
Code templates are snippets of code that can be inserted in the editor. Each template has a
short name, a description and the associated text. The text of a code template can contain parameters which are automatically expanded when the text
is inserted. For example the
"Python Module Header" shown below contains the $[ActiveDoc-Name] and other
parameters. If the character "|" is present in the template, after the insertion of the template
text, the cursor is placed at the position of that character and the character is deleted.
How to insert a code template in the editor:
Type the template name and press the code template shortcut Ctrl-J. If you do not remember
the name of template just press Ctrl-J and select from the pop-up list.
How to create/modify code templates:
Select "Customize Templates..." from the Tools|Options menu which displays the Code
Templates dialog shown below.
