Re^7: Small Perl 6 discoveries IV, hash access (snippets)

> I'm still not sure what a "snippet" is,

basically the combination of an interactive code template and an abbreviation plus trigger. Sets are activated according to context. (Like Perl mode)

Here a demo for emacs

Most editors support the snippet model originating from TextMate, including converters.

IIRC does Perl 6 allow alternative none unicode versions of it's operators.

Like >> for ť

Consequently "inventing" a generic and agnostic solution shouldn't be difficult, like typing <<+TAB or oo+BAR (for infinity)

For code points that are to be used more than once, that is a feasible solution. However, if you need arbitrary characters, that you don't know in advance, the situation is more difficult.	[reply]

It doesn't need any, technically. AFAIK, there are (sometimes ugly) plain-ASCII equivalents for everything. But if you've inherited some Perl6 where someone has gone nuts with Unicode, you're really going to want a Unicode-capable editor.	[reply]
