LuaSnip VS which-key.nvim

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.

There is a well known plugin for neovim to do this kind of behavior. You can even create your own hotkeys into that plugin and will help you navigate and memorize different hotkeys for the editor. The plugin is called whichkey, and this is their github https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim

The menu most certainly comes from folke/which-key.nvim. Take a look into part of your config which sets it up.

By default, most of nvim packages have WhichKey plugin which shows popup with available commands. For instance, you press space or g and what for a second:

One of the recent innovations in the Vim space that I've appreciated a lot is which-key by folke for Neovim: https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim

It makes keybindings in vim discoverable, it's quite magical. For example, press g and get a table of all the various commands that follow from there. Press mapleader and get a table of various commands from there, etc.

>The problem with that is that for some rarely used action one forgets...

Install https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim and you will always have a popup that will tell you what keys to use next.

https://github.com/folke/which-key.nvim - it's like a cheat sheet in neovim!

folke/which-key.nvim will help with you with your key maps.

I recently started actively using which-key plugin that shows the contents of all registers when pressing ".

3) I'd recommend using Telescope, more specifically, :Telescope keympas. There's also which-key, which might be more intuitive, but I haven't used it.
