Snippets in find, input panels?

I think this would be great, but probably unfeasible.

More enhancements to the input panel: being able to apply syntaxes in the input panel would be cool.

Both pretty low priority, anyway.

Syntax highlighting should be possible as it's somewhat roughly done I think in the find and friends panels for regex. Not sure how useful it'd be but I don't think it'd be as big a deal to get working as snippets.

The only thing stopping snippets from working in the various panels is that tab is used to move between fields, which takes precedence over normal key bindings.

You could make a snippet, and bind it to a key sequence that doesn't end it tab, and it should work fine.

With the input panel, you can set the syntax with:

Code: Select all

view = window.showInputPanel("Name", "", None, None, None)
view.options().set("syntax", "Packages/HTML/HTML.tmLanguage")

Fantastic! I should pay more attention to the API docs...
