I’m a convert from TextPad. I switched to EmEditor because of its excellent unicode support. But there’s one feature from TextPad that I pine for — the clip library. In TextPad, I could have one pane open on the left of my document, with a long list of “clips”. Each clip, if I double-clicked it, would insert that text. Each one had an optional placeholder so that if I had selected text in the document, the “clip text” would be inserted around it.
In other words, for example, I could select a word like “foo” in my document, and then double-click the “em” clip, and I’d get “foo“.
I work a lot with XML and HTML, and I really miss that clip library. Macros can do the same thing, but I haven’t figured out a way to get a long list of them in one pane.
With textpad, I could group the clips into “books”, so that hundreds of clips were no more than two mouse-clicks away.
Anything like that here?
In the next version (v9), the Snippets plug-in will have the similar feature. Please try it when the beta version of v9 becomes available. Thanks!
