If you do any website development on a Mac, then you may know that Coda by Panic is a wonderful text editor for all things web. It’s elegant and has every thing you need in one place without any clutter – well almost everything.

Panic has just released a new version (1.5) and has quite a bit more. I’m glad to say it is a free update if you already use Coda – in fact your version just updates silently without you having to do anything.

The new feature that I think will really please WordPress developers is that ability to import and export clips – or snippets of code that you use often. There’s already a site where users can find and suggest clips for websites generally but until know you had to copy and paste them in.

I can see lots of people offering bundles of WordPress tags and snippets which you can just download and import into Coda. Need a little loop for your sidebar that is different on the front page from all the others? I’m sure it will be coming your way soon.
