The problem is, that GMS loads the snippets.txt only at startup.
When you want to build some fancy snippets and you want to try them and modify them several times until they are perfect (line breaks, tabs, indentation, ...), you always have to restart GameMaker to get to see your changes.
And as (#5671) startup time of GMS is quite long currently, this makes creating snippets a pain.
Describe the solution you'd like
Please add an option in the general tab of the preferences (or wherever you see fit), which forces a reload of the snippets.txt.
As preferences (key bindings) are also built dynamically based on the contents of the snippets file, my first idea was to put that button somewhere into the preferences window, but maybe it can also become just a new menu item, above or below the Preferences item.
Any place you find ok will be ok, as long as we can reload the snippets in the same instance of GMS and can avoid the restarting.
Thanks for reading!
Cheers, Gris

I'd like to add, that it would also be very possible, that you just add the file to the watch list of the "File Watcher" subsystem and auto-reload the snippets file, if it has changed.
This "auto-reload" could be enabled/disabled easily with a checkbox in the general settings -- then we don't need new menu items and other complicated stuff for a feature, that's not used very often, but is important, when you use it.
