The Snippets Manager is a component to create, edit, remove and easy-use snippets.
A side panel listing all snippets that can be used in the current file.
Double click in a snippet or drag and drop it to textview activate the snippet.
Side panel components:
- Add button to create a new snippet. It's open a dialog to add a new snippet.
- Remove button to remove selected snippet
- Maybe import/export and a help button to open the create snippets sections of help
Add snippet dialog must have:
- Inputs for snippet key and snippet description: Simple entries widgets can do the work.
- A widget for edit the snippet body: A textview (or gtksourceview). It will be very good to have syntax highlight for TF snippets. We can create a language definition file and create a widget, inheriting gtksourceview, for this.
