Usage

Adding snippets
There is a blank database installed with the application.

To add your first snippet
    Click on the 'Language' text box and enter the name of the language the snippet relates to. e.g. PHP or Visual Basic
    Click on the 'Category' box and enter a category name, this can anything you choose. e.g. Databases or Controls
    Click on the 'Item' box and enter an 'Item' name, this can be freely chosen. e.g. MySQL or ListBox
    Click on the 'Description' box and enter a description, this will appear in the tree view. e.g. Connect or Sort Columns
    Finally enter your code snippet in the main text area and click the save button.

The tree view will refresh and your snippet will appear in the tree. The tree branches are managed by the program and created or removed according to the items you have entered. All items must be under 3 levels of branch :- Language, Category and Item.

Navigating the tree
You may navigate through the tree by using the mouse or keyboard.
  Mouse
    Clicking on the plus/minus signs expands and contracts the associated branch.
    Double clicking on a branch name expands or contracts the associated branch.

    Pressing the Right arrow key while a snippet is highlighted opens that snippet in the text fields on the right side of the window.
    Pressing the Left arrow key while a snippet is highlighted opens that snippet in the text fields on the right side of the window and copies the snippet to the clipboard.

Copy
Clicking the Copy button, selecting copy from either the main menu or contextual (right click) menu on the snippet text area will copy the contents of the text area to the windows clipboard ready for pasting into another application. If some text is selected in the snippet text area then only the selected text will be copied, if there is no selected text then all the text will be copied.

This option deletes the current snippet from the database, the current snippet is the one displayed in the text boxes on the right of the window. This is not necessarily the same as the one selected in the tree view.
