<p>In the Script Editor you can use and create code snippets, which are small blocks of reusable code that you can insert where you need it in your code.</p>
<p><strong>Using code snippets:</strong><br />
To use a snippet, just pick it from the drop-down menu.</p>
<p><strong>Creating new code snippets:</strong><br />
Code snippets are plain text files stored in [GZDB]\Snippets\[category], so just create a new text file there and add the code you want into it. Currently the only supported &quot;special&quot; token is <strong>$EP</strong> (Entry Point) - that's the place where the cursor will be placed after inserting a snippet.<br />
<span class="style1">Warning:</span> snippet's file name should not contain spaces.</p>
<p><strong>Creating new code snippets for custom scripting configurations:</strong><br />
To add snippets to a scripting configuration, which doesn't already have existing snippets (&quot;Insert a Code Snippet&quot; drop-down is disabled in the Script Editor), you'll have to:</p>
<ol>
<li>Add a new folder inside of &quot;Snippets&quot; folder (for example, &quot;[GZDB]\Snippets\Decorate&quot;).</li>
<li>Add the &quot;<strong>snippetsdir</strong>&quot; parameter to a scripting configuration, in which you want to use snippets, and set it to the folder name you've just created (for example, <strong>snippetsdir = &quot;Decorate&quot;;</strong>).</li>
<li>Add the snippets to the folder you've created.</li>
</ol>
