Live Templates

Hi,

I am really happy to see that jetbrains begins with supreme dicipline "C++ cross platform IDE" - I am impressed
and want you to encurage to continue.I waited years for this and I told friend if jetbraqins will create C++ IDE it will become real.
We developed C/C++ for years beginning around 1990. From end of 90 to 2007/2009 we developed openGL/Java programs but came to java limits.
Our openGL programs, big 3D meshes, consist of millions of Nodes, Polygons, etc...
Since that time be came back to C++ and 2 years later to Qt. First - I am not a Qt fanboy. I just like idea that we can port some gui stuff rather easy.
And i don't want to encourage jetbrains to write an other Graphical Designer - do not waste energy for that - my opinion.
For our cross platform, C++/openGL/Qt programs we used g++/cmake+Qt within eclipse .... but we are not happy with this.
My first impression of 3,4 hours "playing with the CLion" : This makes fun!
...
mmmmh i am telling and telling....and where is the point ?
Sorry - but some good word for jetbrains and little history was a must!


OK, first point:
Live Templates - i miss a lot of expressions.
I tried to create my own live templates like i did within intelliJ.Good is in general they work.
But actually very little count of "Expressions" for the variable.

I need Expression for

• ClassName - full qualified with namespace, or base name only .... etc.
  
• MethodName

-
A little minus for expressions in general:
Before i can use build-in-expression i have create my own-variabels and map them.
Why not to use build in expression directly ?
cout << "$classNameComplete$<< endl;
or
cout << "$#classNameComplete" << endl;
to make difference between direct use of build-in-expressions and user-defined variables

I have seen this construct
cout << "$(ClassName)::$(MethodName)" << endl;
working in other IDE - (yes, i look around - uh)
And i cannot see problems with direct access - much more intuitive - my opinion.

Greetings !
