CodeKeep is a simple code snippet management add-in that allows you to
quickly submit and use snippets from the CodeKeep online repository.
There are two main functions to working with CodeKeep.
Adding Snippets
Anytime you write a piece of code that you have a feeling you will need
again in the future, might as well add it to CodeKeep so you can
quickly find it and use it in the future. To add a snippet to CodeKeep
you simply have to select that code in the IDE, right-click, and then
select Send to CodeKeep as seen here.
You then get to add a description and some usage notes about the piece
of code, as well as what language your code is written in. (CodeKeep
loves all languages equally)
Searching
Now that you have a bunch of snippets loaded in to CodeKeep it’s time
to use them (as well as all the snippets other people have added).
Simply naviage to Tools -> CodeKeep -> Search and you will see
the following screen.
Through the search interface you can view all of your snippets or
search through all of the publically available snippets based on their
title, description, usage, and based on the language of the snippet.
Once you find what you are looking for you can quickly copy and paste
it into your code.
CodeKeep also includes a great web interface so you can also access and
manage your snippets from the web (and not worry about where to store
your snippets since they are available from everywhere)
