LuaSnip VS nvim-snippy

If you're using Neovim, check out LuaSnip: https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip

I’ve been using LuaSnip and never put much thought into it. And this was mainly because of because it seemed like the default and had good LSP integration. The one downside is that creating custom snippets is not that ergonomic, but I don’t mind it if it’s the price to pay for speed.

You can use LuaSnip and load snippets from VSCode. The documentation is pretty complete, but here is my config in case you want another reference.

I am trying to add snippets for python, i have LuaSnip and friendly-snippets installed, but for some reason it does not load the snippets. This is how i load the plugins:

There was a similar issue in LuaSnip repo. The culprit was a keymap in the config. Do you happen to have a similar keymap somewhere in your config?

I have decided to extract my Haskell snippets for LuaSnip into a plugin: haskell-snippets.nvim.

Not exactly what you're talking about but you could look into LuaSnip?

There are a few more resources for new users as well on the official repo, and you can find the implementation in Examples/snippets.lua

You mean snippets? If yes, you can try Luasnip and friendly-snippets with nvim-cmp and here's the setup guide. Hope it helps

I had the same issue recently. It was the case when I inserted a snippet but didn't fill out all the placeholders right away. This helped me. This is an autocommand that unlinks the unfinished snippet when you change the mode.

nvim-snippy?

I don't know about LuaSnip, but nvim-snippy can expand LSP snippets without using an auto-completion plugin.

I want to give some attention to the excellent nvim-snippy plugin.

I think it's a bug in Neovim; I ran into a similar (if not the same) issue, and I use neither nvim-cmp nor lsp-zero: https://github.com/dcampos/nvim-snippy/issues/90

I even wrote my own autocmd for auto-completion, which was a lot of fun and helped me learn a lot about Neovim. Together with nvim-snippy it meets all of my needs (so far).

there is nvim-snippy

For me it's about extra dependencies. It's not enough to just have Neovim, you also need Python and the pynvim package, plus whatever Python dependencies the plugin might have. It used to be a tradeoff worth it before we had built-in Lua, but now it doesn't really matter. The last everyday Python plugin I have is UltiSnips and I am currently evaluating nvim-snippy as a replacement.

I switched to snippy because I had the same problem

Snippy for snippets,

I recommend to use https://github.com/dcampos/nvim-snippy, I'm so happy with it
