They won't work with PNotepad, as PN requires XML-formatted clipsets like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;clips name=&quot;&quot; scheme=&quot;cpp&quot;&gt; &lt;clip name=&quot;File Header&quot; shortcut=&quot;fh&quot;&gt;/** * @file ${PN_FILEPATH} * @brief ${1:Description} */ $0&lt;/clip&gt; &lt;/clip&gt;</code></pre> <p>TextPad clips look like:</p> <pre><code>!TEXT=For statement for(\^; ; ) { }</code></pre> <p>It doesn't make any sense to convert the clip format imo, as PN clips are way more powerful if a shortcut is defined and $-placeholders are set. TextPad seems to allow a single cursor position only (\^) and no placeholders at all.</p> <p>Nonetheless, the TextPad clips could give some inspiration for future PN clips </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5442#post-8294 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 22:58:31 +0000 Old Geezer 8294@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Since I have used TextPad in the past, but I like your program better for a couple of reasons--being free is a major one--I have downloaded several of the TextClips that people have made for TextPad. They seem to use the same format, so I have to ask. Will the TextClips from TextPad work properly in PNotepad? If not, it might be worthwhile to compare some of their clip files with the few that you have here.</p> <p>There are many clips and a lot of them seem to be of reasonable quality, although not all of them are, at TextPad's Clip site, <a href="http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/cliplibs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/cliplibs.html</a>. You said you would like to have more Clips submitted. Well, here are a whole bunch of them for everything from HTML to VB to C/C++/C# to ASCII body pictures for medical use to multiple types of information clips. There are a good number of clips that were made for programmers, but there are also a bunch that were made just to be helpful to people who want to use it as a text editor.</p> <p>Again, from the looks of the number of Clips currently available for PN, it might be well worthwhile to adopt the simple format used by TextPad since those files are freely available to everyone. There is even a Clip file Template to help people create their own, <a href="http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/files/cliplibs/tcl.zip" rel="nofollow">http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/files/cliplibs/tcl.zip</a>. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/723#post-2634 Thu, 17 Dec 2009 11:52:01 +0000 simon 2634@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Currently only Python, C# and XML ship with templates in the box. I'm looking for good templates to include by default for the other languages (hint hint) :)</p> <p>The reason you're not seeing anything when you hit Ctrl-Alt-Space is there are no templates.

I'll have a think about some easy way to delimit them. There's probably a better syntax for that.</p> <p>It sounds like the SQL scheme may just need folding enabled - I'll look into it. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/29#post-103 Thu, 23 Feb 2006 12:45:36 +0000 GadgetOllie 103@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>First off, this is a really great program...Thank you!</p> <p>I have 2 questions regarding functionality.</p> <p>1. The pipe character (|) used in clips positions the cursor to that point in the code. I have created a 'library' of my commonly used code clips in PL/SQL but unfortunately, in SQL and PL/SQL 2 pipe characters (||) in the code means concatinate. When I paste my code into PN, it is interpreted as 'place the cursor here' and it overwrites the first pipe for the concatination. Is there a way to change this character to something else for cursor placement?</p> <p>2. I spend most of my time developing in PL/SQL and the code folding does not work when a document is opened as PL/SQL or SQL. If however, I leave my code in the editor and select a different language, the code folding turns on. Then I can re-select PL/SQL as the language and code folding works. Is there a setup somewhere that I can make code folding work without having to do this?</p> <p>Many Thanks for this wonderful program. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/4#post-13 Fri, 13 Jan 2006 16:53:53 +0000 simon 13@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Good work Sam!
