In order to streamline snippet input from selection, it would be pretty cool to have the option to access the snippets from a contextual menu. A pretty flexible way to implement that could be a check box or equivalent in the bundle editor that says something like "include in contextual menu" on a per language and/or snippets basis. ......................................... m i n i m a l d e s i g n 244 Fifth Avenue - Suite P233 New York, NY 10001-7604 USA

Right now you can get that effect by having the activation for each of the items set to the same thing.
But I want to keep all of the specific shortcuts for each of my snippets intact. Maybe we could have the best of both worlds by having multiple activation methods for each snippet.
in the short-term: 1. A single shortcut for every snippet that matches the current scope (that would function as if every snippet had that shortcut).
in the long run: 2. A way to change the shortcut for multiple snippets at the same time. 3. A way to reset the shortcut for all selected snippets to their default value.

It would also be a nice way to learn what snippets/macros/commands were available in a particular scope. At the point/selection where you bring up the context menu, there would be three submenus -- snippets, commands, macros -- where you could see all the available tools in that scope.
