Recently the Komodo (Edit) developers added a new feature to Komodo 5.1, that feature is abbreviations.  The abbreviations feature allow you to quickly replace certain keywords with snippets of code by just pressing CTRL + T (or your key of preference).  This can be extremely useful.  I decided to create an abbreviation library for CodeIgniter.

Let’s say I type cicontroller and press CTRL + T, that will be replaced with:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

class MyController extends Controller
{
	public function __construct()
	{
		parent::Controller();
	}
 
	public function index()
	{
 
	}
}

MyController is highlighted by default for easy replacing.

Here is my current library.  I’ll update it as I add more items.

At work I get files sometimes with hexadecimal entities but the problem is that we use numeric entities. I decided to write a simple script that will search the file for hex entities and convert them to numeric one. This is intended to be used with Komodo Edit or via the command line.
