[oXygen-user] shortcuts for special characters

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi James and Don,

Sure you can export/import code templates. On the Options->Preferences 
-- Editor -- Code Templates page there are two buttons Export and Import 
that allow you to share the templates with other users.

Note that oXygen has also support for project level options. This makes 
possible configuring a project that has some options already configured, 
including code templates, transformation scenarios, default schema 
associations, catalogs, etc. So basically you can create a project and 
set the options you want to be stored at project level, then you can 
share that project with other users that will see all the options you 
configured at project level when working with that project.

Best Regards,
George
