Code Snippets - AJAX Save & highlight syntax, predictive syntax, autocomplete as you type

There are a couple of suggestions that I think may be a great addition to the Code Snippets element.

  1. The ‘Save’ with Page Reload doesn’t really bother me with any other elements, but in the case of the Code Snippets, it gets a bit in the way.
    Usually, when working with the snippet, CSS for example, I keep constantly saving. Having the page reload and jump back to the main snippet dashboard after every save gets a little frustrating, so I think having an AJAX save without page reload in this case is a must.
  2. I’ve been working with WPcodebox a lot, and having the syntax pre-populate and autocomplete as you type is extremely helpful, especially for things like variables and other repetitive CSS elements.

Thanks for the suggestions @yanno
Looking forward to implementing these quality of life improvements.

Hi @yanno
We did partial implementation of your request in v1.1.7.

  1. Ctrl + S does not reload the page anymore.
  2. Code editor is now full screen because we are preparing for hints and auto complete features. These are coming up in the next v1.2 update.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Many thanks for this @joy , I really appreciate the constant flow of improvements.
