Describe the bug
If a snippet is deleted right after a filter is selected, the filter option gets unselected and you can't go back to the original list of snippets without refreshing the page.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to snippets panel.
2. Click on a filter.
3. Scroll down to a snippet and select delete.
4. See error.

Expected behavior
Snippet should get deleted and the filter panel should show the filter as selected and show only the filtered snippets.

Should we keep the id field in snippet metadata ?

Currently, our snippet metadata has id field in order to keep the order of snippets in the snippet explorer when the page gets refreshed.

One issue with this is that if people want to share a snippet, they have to change its id in correspondence to their existing snippets.

Currently, you can drag snippets written in Python to notebooks running with kernels with other languages.

Describe the solution you'd like
We can show the warning message saying the snippet is not compatible with notebook kernel.

GIFs in the documentation would help the users understand how to use our extension more smoothly.

Even if you search for a code snippet with the approximate match (partial hits), it will find the one you are looking for.

Additional context

Currently, users can't add snippets during search or tag-filter

Describe the solution you'd like
They can add snippets during search or tag-filter

Problem Description
Currently no arguments can be passed to code snippets and no parameters can be set for a snippet.

Solution

• Allow a place/way for arguments to be passed into a code snippet upon insertion. When creating the snippet users should be allowed to specify a number of parameters and when they insert it a dialog should appear that allows them to fill in these sections.

Problems to Address

• Have to figure out where these args will be visually and how they will be editable:
  1. On the snippet?
  2. Can they be modified in the editor?
  3. Will types be included?
  4. Limit to number of parameters?
• Design must be mostly solidified before implementation

Save using context menu currently only works when text is highlighted. Save by highlighting is not fully functional in non-notebook files (current method is to copy text from file and paste it into the custom code snippet creator).

Describe the solution you'd like

1. When a cell is right-clicked and the "save as code snippet" option is selected, the cell and all of the code within the cell will be saved as a code snippet.
2. When on a non-notebook file is open, you can highlight text and save that text as a code snippet.

Every time when I was writing code with a Cap-S, the extension catches it as a short cut and jump out the window for adding new snippet. It's annoying and I even cannot find where to set the shortcut. Finally, I am annoyed and uninstalled the extension.

Question: How can we make it easier to rename snippets?

Current task flow:

• User browses snippets > clicks "..." button > chooses "edit snippet" > edits snippet in a separate file > saves/updates snippet

Ideation:

• right click or double click the snippet to change it

Things to keep in mind:

• Would this still open into the editor?
• What would it look like in the snippet panel?

Should all the input fields for code snippet be required?

Snippet preview should match the height of the snippet content.

• Reduce the amount of white space
• Panel should adjust to size of snippet

Describe the solution you'd like
Right click option to rename the name of the snippet.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Double click the snippet name to rename it.

I think we can have a save as snippet in context menu to save a cell as snippet if there is no highlighted code. Thoughts??

I assume that the snippets are saved in a json file somewhere, which can be backed-up or shared with other users, but I'm not able to find it. Can you point me in the right direction, please? Thanks.

I noticed y'all removed the Elyra license from this package. Just as a teaching moment here, when handling such a license (Apache), you can only remove it if you get written permission from the Elyra team to remove this license.

In this case, we should keep their license, since your work is a derivative of their original design. We want to give them credit for their original contributions. Let's add their license back in and be clear that this is a derivative (maybe add a block of text at the top/bottom explaining your extension's relationship to theirs).

Thanks!

For the search bar are we planning to leave it so it eliminates options based on capitalizations?

For example, if the user had snippets called "long" and "Long" and they typed "lo" into the search bar only the first result would show up. (Current state)

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is:
The filters are not seen in the 'add-snippet' bar.

Expected behavior
I want to filter the tags, but I don't see the option to filter them. Moreover, I don't have the tag option provided when I try to save the snippet from Jupyter lab.

Markdown and raw cells are treated as code cells in the preview because currently, we only save text in the cells as a snippet.

Describe the solution you'd like
Save only code cells.

when i register new snippet, i 'm so inconvenient to fill a form exactly....

i dont like filling describing form,language (can allow blank form)
i hope it supports upper cases in title

#thank you (in personally , i like this extension so much .)

Feature Request
Currently, the keyboard shortcut to save code as a snippet is ctrl + shift + s. Since this keyboard shortcut is same as that to save file as ..., we want to make it user-customizable in JupyterLab.

i wonder where my snippets are stored to..
cuz i wanna import my snippets i 'm using to another computer

We should have proper error messages for server-side errors.

Describe the bug
Dragging a code snippet is sometimes buggy. If you don't see a drag image when dragging a snippet and just hover back on the drag icon, the hover activates a drag event.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Click and drag a code snippet.
2. If you try step 1 several times, you may find that drag image does not appear right away.

Expected behavior
It should create a drag image when you click and drag a code snippet

I just created several snippets in jupyter lab，but when I boot jupyter lab in other directory, I can't find original snippets records🤔.

left: original work directory, right: another work directory but under the same conda enviroment.

FUTURE FEATURE LIST

• Templated Fields
  Create an interface that allows the use of parameters for code snippets. This will allow users to pass arguments into their snippets when inserting a snippet into their notebooks.

• Tab Completion
  Implement a tab completion feature that tracks patterns in a users code and recommends potential code snippets that could finishes statements and definitions if the tab key is pressed. Potential idea to work with Kite/JupyterLab-lsp team to create this feature.

• Color Code Tags
  Construct a color picking tool that allows for the selection of different colors for the tags in the snippets panel. If this change is implemented, potentially show dots on the actual snippet containers indicating some of the tags associated with the snippet. Attach hover feature to dots that will display the actual names of the tags.

• Multi-cell Saving
  If multiple code cells are saved, create functionality that will maintain the cell structure upon editing and re-insertion into the notebook. This will allow for cells to be manually combined and also run separately if desired.

At the top of the file that contains some lines of code from Elyra, we need to add attribution to them by putting our license (BSD-3), comment about our usage on Elyra's code, and Elyra' license (Apache)

Problem description
Currently, the methods to insert a snippet include the insert button, dragging and dropping, and copy-pasting. However, this requires the user to search for a snippet in the snippet explorer every time they intend to use it which can take time away from their work.

Solution
Create functionality that recognizes user patterns and suggests relevant snippets that match syntax that can be easily inserted by simply pressing the tab button. This will allow user to save time in searching for the snippet and more easily incorporate them into their workflow.

Things to think about

• Potentially look at Kite for inspiration
• Show snippet text when associated words are typed in a grayed out font (like gmail tab-complete)
• Alternatively, when tab key is pressed after writing some code (example "import..."), a dropdown will appear showing the names/descriptions of related and relevant snippets. User can click on any of the names to complete their code with the snippet code.
  1. Design will be tricky and will most likely go through multiple iterations
  2. Have to make sure that this does not take away the tab key's functionality
  3. Have to make sure that the user is able to get rid of the pop up/grayed out text so it doesn't get in the way of their workflow.

Problem
There are a limited amount of ways to sort snippets in the snippet panel.

Current Functionality

• Sort by cell tags
• Search by name and language

Solution

• Sort by date created
• Sort by last modified

Things to keep in mind

• what would this look like in the snippets panel (what's the best way to display the sorting options)

Add new features to code snippet docs

Right now snippets are created and saved into a folder that is separate for each directory. This means that when jupyterlab is launched from a different directory it can be hard to access those snippets because they are in a folder in a separate directory.

Describe the solution you'd like
Figure out a way to make snippets available anywhere jupyterlab is launched. This way snippets from other projects can be used in a new workspace without needing to recreate them. This means sending all the snippets created to one location on the user's computer.

Header is too subtle to notice which snippet it previews.

Describe the solution you'd like
Create a border around the snippet that's clicked.

Describe alternatives you've considered
We can use draggable icon to indicate the selected snippet.

Describe the bug
Snippet doesn't get changed if I edit the snippet while searching or filtering

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In the snippet explorer, search/ filter snippet
2. Click on the three dots and edit one of the snippets
3. Make changes and hit save
4. See error

Expected behavior
The snippet should reflect the change in the editor

Describe the bug
If the delete snippet button is clicked while previewing snippet,
it will delete the the snippet but will not close the preview.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Click on a snippet on snippet panel to preview.
2. Hit the close button in the snippet.
3. See error

Expected behavior
Preview should also be closed.

1. Customizing the keyboard shortcut on JupyterLab seems to just add a new shortcut instead of replacing it.
2. Currently, the shortcut to save as snippet is Accel Shift S. And, this overrides Save AS.. shortcut, and this is a problem especially in non-notebook file because there's no way to get around it unlike notebook.

Currently, we can only right click to save a highlighted code as a snippet.

Describe the solution you'd like
Have another option to save cell(s) as a snippet.

Hello, last time I reported the problem of shortcut as Cap-S and I uninstalled the extension.

After that, you claim to have fixed the problem so I wanted to reinstall the extension. But I failed to build it or use it in the jupyterlab again. I enabled the extension, tried the command of clean and rebuild, but failed to activate the extension whatever measures do I take.

Could you help me with solving the problem or check if it is the problem of the extension?

Describe the bug
Saving multiple cells as a code snippet does not save the code at all.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Select multiple cells in notebook
2. Save them as a code snippet
3. Hover over the snippet
4. See empty preview

Expected behavior
Preview should have a code from the selected cells.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: iOS
• Browser chrome, safari

Describe the bug
When JupyterLab dark is toggled, the snippets panel is still white but everything else is black so it looks weird. Also the hovers are inverted so it looks strange from that point of view as well. Also when a snippet is selected (previewing) the text is black but the highlight is a very dark gray so it is pretty difficult to read the text.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to Settings
2. Hover on JupyterLab Theme
3. Select JupyterLab Dark on the side menu.
4. See error

Expected behavior
Panel should match rest of color scheme. When snippet is selected, font color should be white or light grey to increase readability.

Describe the bug
It lists all the snippets if I delete a snippet while searching or filtering

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. In the snippet explorer, search/ filter snippet
2. Click on the three dots and delete one of the snippets
3. See error

Expected behavior
A list of snippets should be remained just without the deleted snippet

How to delete snippet ?

Thx

Question: In what ways can we categorize snippets?

Current function/background:
In the past, we attempted to create snippets that could be sorted by using color tabs. After receiving feedback on color-coding, we decided to omit this way of sorting and stick with only using cell tags. In the future we would like to implement a way to color-code your snippets as another form of categorization.

Ideation:

• color-coded cell tags (tags can be categorized further by project or function and labeled with colors)
• color-coded tags/dots (small dots to represent common project or functions throughout snippets)

Things to keep in mind:

• Is this method of categorization necessary or most effective?
• How would this be represented in the snippet panel, editor, and creator?

Bug
Options icon (3 dots) does not show up clearly depending on browser/model of computer. The current design places it too close to the scrollbar.

Solution
Shift icon some distance to the left to allow it to appear properly next to a variety of different scrollbars.
