Code Snippets in FlashDevelop

Recently i find good button on FlashDevelop. It call ‘Code Snippets’.

So, what mean snippet? Snippet is a programming term for a small region of re-usable source code, machine code or text. Ordinarily, these are formally-defined operative units to incorporate into larger programming modules. Snippets are often used to clarify the meaning of an otherwise “cluttered” function, or to minimize the use of repeated code that is common to other functions. Please read more about snippet on wikipedia.
