Little tool to insert code snippets from custom text shortcuts... for a faster coding experience
LazyCoder_104.zip (Windows)Updates:
2021.08.22, v1.04
· Tabs (Ascii 9) in the IDE are now treated like spaces (Ascii 32)
· Show all shortcuts (+ or * and Shift+Enter)
· Parameter underlining
· Minor UI and bug fixes
2017.09.16, v1.03
· Logic for evaluating the search word has been improved. Now it's also possible to trigger functions e.g.'OpenWindow('
· Added popup window style: Opacity, Shadow, SlideIn, FadeOut (LazyCoder.pref)
· Formatting of the popup window has been improved
· Added new formatting syntax to the editor
· Added/Changed default shortcuts (delete LazyCoder.pref manually)
· Allow only one instance of each window
· Made the editor window resizeable
2017.09.13, v1.02
· Added a button to rename shortcuts
· Shortcuts are now saved lowercase only. Finding words regardless of the case (works better with PB's autocomplete)
· Added keyboard shortcut Shift+Return to close the editor and the popup window. For a quick peek or if accidentally opened
· Added default shortcuts (delete LazyCoder.pref manually)
· Removed tabstops from text-only controls (popup window)
· Minor bug fixes
2017.09.12, v1.01
· Optimized keyword search. Can handle code with more than 10k lines now
· Fixed shortcuts not getting triggered in front of '(' and '|'
· Added default shortcuts (delete LazyCoder.pref manually)
Usage:
· Edit Mode: Hit Shift + Return (or the shortcut you chose for the tool) on an empty line (or without having a word selected) to open the editor.
· Action mode: Write 'proc' or 'for' (see editor) and hit Shift + Return while touching the last letter with the caret. Enter name + args and hit Return.
Have fun, chi

Nice tool name ^^
Looks like might be useful, though I'm already using built-in IDE templates for lazying

I always get a requester : Could'nt open the file. After that, the main window of your program appears
What file ? I tried it with a saved source and a new sourcetab (unsaved).

Please download the file again... You are using an older version (still using ReadFile instead of SCI_GETCURLINE).
I also updated the first post with an animated gif. Hope that helps

I think it could be crossplatform. With the "Reload source after tool quit" and set the new cursor position....
But only chi know. if it using WinAPI commands or not.
But in big sources it could be a mess, to reload the source at every time you use this ....

The source code is about 99% cross-platform compatible, only using some WinAPI commands for the UI. Nothing important. The big problem is, how to retrieve the custom %WORD. You see, Purebasic's native solution (using %WORD in Tool-'Arguments') doesn't recognize the word, if the caret only touches the word on the right side. It has to be 'inside' the word (only Fred can fix that
). The next solution was to use ReadFile with %TEMPFILE, but as you stated, it's sluggish with big source files. So now I'm using VirtualAllocEx_(...) with SendMessage_(Scintilla, #SCI_GETCURLINE, cBuf, *pBuf) and I don't have a clue on how to translate that to Linux or Mac...
@Bisonte: I assume it's working now for you with the latest version?!

ok... it does not work for me atm, because I use TAB and not SPACE as indentation.
But for new projects, this is really nice.
