Code snippets for faster code writing

Support, Help & Resources
1

Hi,

In the current state of Sonic Pi, is it possible to create custom code snippets ? I know that I may be able to
do that in my favorite text editor, but by doing so, I would loose the built-in functionalities of Sonic Pi (the help showing up with C-i, etc…).

Or, even better, do you know if some plugin would allow me to play for instance in Emacs, Atom or Visual Code Studio, with the built-in help showing up on the press of a key ?

Thanks for your help,
I’m coming back to Sonic Pi after a long computer adventure, and it feels good!

Hi @Bubo,

there’s no official support for snippet yet but there is an unofficial way of doing it that definitely works now, although may change in the future once I figure out how to make it super simple to operate.

However, if you’re already into Emacs or Atom, you’ll likely find it intuitive even at this raw level.
