Figure 22. The code templates menu


The templates menu is not really necessary, but just added for convenience. There are three reasons why this menu is here.

The Edit code templates menu item warps you directly to the code templates page in the settings screen. This menu, however, has more to it. It lists all available code templates. This means you can see the Shortcut as also the Description of the code templates. When you click on one of the code templates, it will be directly inserted at the caret position in the active edit child. That's the second convenience option. The third one is (of course) if you don't remember the shortcut name complete or you don't exactly know what the template you are referring to does, you can check it all out in this menu.
However, code templates can be inserted in the active edit child by typing the shortcut name and hitting CTRL+J (More about this later on in this document).
