CodeStore (c) is a specialized editor for creating, storing and customizing frequently used code snippets independent of language.
CodeStore is built using the Java Programming language. The user requires Java Runtime Environment 1.4 or higher running for CodeStore to be used.
This tool is aimed at programmers and software professionals in general.
This is a repository for Frequently used code/ scripts that can be customized by the user.
CodeStore not only functions as a central repository of frequently used code snippets/scripts, but also as a customizer for the same. Hence the user need not, anymore, resort to age old techniques of having a common folder/directory with a bunch of text files and having to perform copy paste operations to customize code. Though the time taken for both remain almost the same, using CodeStore, one can be sure of what he/she is doing in terms of replacing some areas of code with their values. That is what CodeStore is meant for. And once the user is used to working with CodeStore, then it becomes much faster to edit, especially given the highly user friendly yet simple user interface.
Hence, the user can bank on a tool that manages a central repository of data, instead of having to remember each directory in which the code snippets have been stored for later reference. This reduces time on searching and also eliminates hassles involved in categorizing. CodeStore has a very basic level categorization feature, by which essentially, the user creates the categories and decides what goes where. Also, a tabular display of all the macros along with their categories is provided.
