roCodeSnip Brief Help

Description

The purpose of roCodeSnip is to have quick access to Code Snippets while developing, but als to manage the Code Snippets accordingly. This is achieved, by placing roCodeSnip at the top right of the screen, with the development IDE left to it. The Code Snippets are listed by their SubNames (sorting can be done via the Extra Functions button). To copy either press Ctrl+C or double click on the selected item.

The Code Snippets are stored in a SQLite database codesnip.db in table codesnippets with fields: ID (INT), SubName (TEXT),Description (TEXT),Code (TEXT),Dependencies (TEXT),Tags (TEXT),Modified (TEXT)

The main window, which is Toolbox styled, lists the Code Snippets SubName. Each SubName is unique. The main window is closed by clicking on the [X] in the upper right corner. Double clicking on the selected item, copies the code to the clipboard.

For the selected Code Snippet, the description is shown at the bottom of the list. Please note that most of the fields and buttons do have a tooltip related.
