Update: Currently the Insert Code action (Ctrl+I; present in the editor popup menu) partly adresses this need, however is has discoverability issues. Many useful code snippets are available through Ctrl+I, but I fear that users often don't know about them. Another problem with Insert Code is UI scalability - it works well for 5-10 code clips, but not if we wanted to put e.g. 50 code clips into it. With Palette, this is not an issue. |
