Suggestion to add Snippets to toolbar

Post by gwmbox »

Another suggestion for a future release is the ability to assign a snippet to a toolbar item (icon) of your choosing in which you can also choose an icon for the toolbar item from an image on your computer or it will default to a text style button label.

Why would you need a toolbar icon for a snippet when you already have the option to assign shortcut keys and callwords -- surely those are faster ways of accessing snippets? Or am I missing something?

It's a handy feature when Implemented. Homesite allowed custom buttons. They would trigger scripts and I used them for complex actiions that I used only infrequently but for which I didn't want to assign a shortcut key (because I used them so seldom that I'd forget the key combination). But they were invaluable.
Homesite allowed both ActiveScript and VBScript to automate pretty much anything otherwise doable within the program. So you could string together whichever set of custom commands you needed and attach them to a button.
It was really only up to your scripting skill as to what you could trigger and allowed a great deal of automation to manual marking up.
