+# 🚀 Snippets & Quick Fixes
+
+The **BMC TPL Code All around** extension massively reduces your typing effort. With intelligent code templates (Snippets) and automatic error resolutions (Quick Fixes), you write TPL code not only faster but also error-free.
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Smart Snippets (Code Templates)
+
+Snippets are short abbreviations that turn into complete code blocks when typing (or by pressing `Ctrl + Space`). 
+*Tip:* After inserting a snippet, you can easily jump through the placeholders (like variable names or conditions) using the `Tab` key!
+
+### The God-Snippet
+| Keyword | Description |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `tpl_skeleton` | Generates a completely fresh `.tpl` file including module definition, mandatory metadata, pattern, triggers, and log statements. **Special feature:** Automatically pulls your name, the publisher, and the TPL version from your VS Code settings! |
+
+### Control Structures (New!)
+No more forgotten `then`, `do`, or `end` blocks. Just type the keyword and press `Tab`:
+
+| Keyword | Generated Code |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `if` | Builds `if <condition> then ... end if;` and places the cursor inside the condition. |
+| `elif` | Builds `elif <condition> then ...` for seamless if-chains. |
+| `else` | Builds the `else ...` block. |
+| `for` | Builds `for <item> in <list> do ... end for;`. |
+| `while` | Builds `while <condition> do ... end while;`. |
+
+### TPL Structures & Blocks
+| Keyword | Description |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| `pattern` | Builds an empty pattern block including a DocString (`"""`) and `end pattern;`. |
+| `syncmapping` | Builds an empty syncmapping block including a DocString. |
+| `define` | Generates a method definition (`define name(params) ... end define;`). |
+| `table` | Creates a table including the mandatory `default -> "unknown";` fallback. |
+| `metadata`, `body`, ... | Builds the respective TPL block (`metadata ... end metadata;`) and places the cursor in the middle. |
+
+---
+
+## ⚡ Quick Fixes (Code Actions)
+
+When the linter finds an error or a warning, a small **lightbulb** often appears at the beginning of the line. You can also simply click on the marked line and press `Ctrl + .` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd + .` (Mac) to have the problem fixed automatically.
+
+Currently, the extension supports the following automatic repairs:
+
+### 1. "Generate missing module metadata"
+- **Trigger:** You have a `metadata` block, but mandatory fields are missing (like `origin`, `author`, `products`, `publishers`, or `tree_path`).
+- **Action:** The plugin immediately generates the missing lines with dummy values inside the block, making the code valid again.
+
+### 2. "Insert log statement"
+- **Trigger:** The initially required `log.debug` statement with the pattern name is missing in the `body` of a pattern.
+- **Action:** Inserts the missing `log.debug("Start pattern <Name>");` right as the first line in the `body` block.
+
+### 3. "Tabs to Spaces"
+- **Trigger:** The linter finds tab characters (`\t`) in the code. (Spaces are best practice in BMC TPL).
+- **Action:** Instantly replaces all illegal tabs in the flagged line with 4 clean spaces each.
