Current implementation #0:
-------------------------
To create:
You open the "Snippets" dialog,
You create one with <Add New> and provide it a name,
A new entry is there in the list with blank snippet,
You typein the code or can <Get Selection>,
You need to <Update> to save it permanently.
To execute:
You press CTRL+K, menu appears,
You select and snippet is inserted.
The proposed implementatio #1:
-------------------------------
To create:
Keep #0 implementation as is, in addition
You select a snippet,
Open context menu with right-click and select "Save as Snippet"
You are asked for a "Name" and that's it, does not matter dialog is open or
not.
To execute:
Keep #0 implementation as is, in addition
Provide a list on the left dock area and in between "Projects" and "Editor
Tabs"
containing defined snippets.
You double click one and that is inserted.
Dragging the selection directly without a name is, IMO, very
confusing and over the time you will loose control over it.
You always remember a name for longer periods.
The proposed implementatio #2:

This is quiet easy if it is only to see if it compiles.
This is what you are asking for ? If yes, then there are
few facts which should be cleared beforehand:
1. How to handle
IF abc == 212
DO CASE
DO WHILE abc < 100
etc cases. Will these compile?
Also multiline comments. I mean how to determine if
a line is macro compiled properly. Above will not compile, not tested,
but are valid statements. How Eclipse handles them ?
