How to use a user snippet in geany
By majju, history, 8 days ago, In English

Hello,

I started to use geany as a text editor. I've setup everything except the snippet. In sublime text, when you type in a certain trigger, a prewritten code is included. Is there anything similar in geany ?

Edit : I use mac 2020 m1 chip

    ide's are kinda hard. if u have an old comp, vim/geany/emacs is better. + those are very easly customizable so it will fit ur prefrence

Go to tools > Configuration files > snippets.conf

Add new snippet, and use it with tab

      This is the code in the script. template.cpp is my template file

      !/bin/bash

      file_name=$1

      cat template.cpp > "$file_name" # Copy template to new file

      geany "$file_name"

      I run the following command when I want to open a new file. ./cr.sh A.cpp A.cpp can be anything

      Idk why the above code looks weird!!
