config.nvim VS LuaSnip

For cool snippets. For example in C++, if I'm in a class "Foo" and I expand the snippet "cassd" (const assignment definition), it generates "Foo& operator=(Foo const& other);" (see config).

The first is a collection of snippets for C++ that generate the declarations or definitions of the special member functions (move constructor etc.). The snippet uses treesitter to determine whether we are currently inside of a class or not. If we are inside of a class, it automatically gets the correct name of the surrounding class (without templates) and uses that to generate the member function. If we are outside of a class, you have to type in the name but it will still correctly strip templates in the right places with a simple regex. Showcase. Code.

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.
