As I’ve mentioned earlier, Clips in Coda work nearly flawlessly. One of the great ways to take advantage of Clips is by using tab triggers.
Tab triggers are essentially keyboard shortcuts–they make it so that when you enter some predefined text and then press Tab, a pre-saved clip will replace the original text. TextMate has a very similar feature called Snippets.
To add a tab trigger to a clip, enter the edit mode for the clip by pressing on the italicized “i” at the right side of any clip in the Clips window. Then, click in the area near the bottom of the Clips window where it says “Click to add tab trigger”. Now just enter the text that you’d like to type instead of the full clip, and press save.
Now whenever you are editing a file in Coda, you can type your new tab trigger and then hit “Tab,” and the full clip will appear.

A list of basic html tags would be a good start I think. January 21st, 2008 at 8:53 pm

If these things and more are possible, it might make for a great tip to have a demo video on using the shortcuts. January 21st, 2008 at 10:35 pm
