Hello Mirek! Can you correct this bugs in ide/Abbr.cpp? corrected code is:


void AbbreviationsDlg::Add()
{
	String s;
	
	if (EditText(s, "New abbreviation", "Keyword", CharFilterAlpha))
	{
		abbr.Add(s, Null);
		Finish(s);
	}
}

and

void AbbreviationsDlg::Edit()
{
	if(!abbr.IsCursor())
		return;
	String s = abbr.GetKey();
	
	if (EditText(s, "Edit keyword", "Keyword", CharFilterAlpha))
	{
		abbr.Set(0, s);
		Finish(s);
	}
}

I propose to change abbreviation mechanism:
1. Add parametrization, first propose is to add as <@"parameter description">
2. Change char @ with <@>
3. Edit and save abbreviations as tree (group by folders).
4. Save abbreviation file as xml file
5. Save abbreviation in more files and user defined locations. By default will be <installation folder>\abbrs.xml, but in file <installation folder>\ide.abbrs will be saved addresses of abbreviations files.
6. Set Splitter from abbreviation tree and code editor.
7. Change from "Abbreviation" to "Text template".
I can do this changes on evening and I will post for appreciate.

Anybody is interesting in this changes or have other proposes?
