snippet-converter.nvim VS dotfiles

Afaik there is nothing built into Neovim that can do this. However, I have required this for one of my plugins so I created it. Here is the link: https://github.com/smjonas/snippet-converter.nvim/blob/main/lua/snippet_converter/utils/json_utils.lua. Feel free to use it!

Also, my snipmate parser is probably a good starting point since the grammar is relatively simple: https://github.com/smjonas/snippet-converter.nvim/blob/main/lua/snippet_converter/core/snipmate/body_parser.lua

Moved to LuaSnip with the aid of snippert-converter, and it's good. No performance issues, easy to setup with nvim-cmp and works well. Would recommend.

Please check out my plugin snippet-converter.nvim which will hopefully save you a lot of time! I have put in a lot of effort to handle as many edge cases as possible so you don't have to worry about line breaks and stuff. Cheers! (Note that this plugin currently only supports vscode_luasnip as a target format not "native" LuaSnip snippets in Lua but VSCode-style snippets should cover 99% of your use cases).

Nice article! Luasnip also supports snippet priorities btw so you don't need to delete them. You could also automate the conversion of the snippets using snippet-converter.nvim (hope no one minds a bit of self-advertising here ;). That should surely speed things up a bit.

No you would need to convert the snippets to VSCode or SnipMate format first. You can do that using a plugin like snippet-converter.nvim (disclaimer: I am the author of that plugin). Simply set the output format to vscode_luasnip or snipmate_luasnip.

Shameless plug: you could also try my plugin https://github.com/smjonas/snippet-converter.nvim which can handle many more edge cases :)

I am excited to announce the release of my first own plugin snippet-converter.nvim that I've been working on for the last couple of months!

You can try my plugin snippet-converter.nvim, it has not been officially released yet but it's already functional. Sorry for the self-promotion but this seems to solve your problem :) It allows you to write your snippets in UltiSnips format and convert them to VSCode snippets.

There does not seem to be a good way to do this at the moment. However, you might be interested in my plugin snippet-converter.nvim that I've been working on for a few months now - the issue you described is one of the use cases of the plugin! It's already usable but there is still some stuff that need to be worked on... If that's done I'll definitely make an announcement on this sub (hopefully in the next weeks) :)

If you really want to look at all my bindings, you can browse my dotfiles. Image of my layout here. I have multiple layers though, so not everything is visible there. I can try sharing the whole Moonlander layout if someone wants it..

It's quite straightforward to setup by following the instructions on github. You can also take a look at my dotfiles, if you do decide to give LuaSnip a try. There are also some sample snippets there, in Ultisnips, vscode-luasnips and snipmate formats. Snipmate and Ultisnips formats are much nicer to write than the tree of nodes syntax that LuaSnip also uses.

Depends on how themes do it. I would assume a good number of themes would have a reasonably easy way to get the colors. For example something like this.

You can find lots of examples on peoples dotfiles (link to my bindings, for example), or by just googling a bit.

Yeah, of course, every theme does that. You can look at this for reference. And you can use a function like this to get the capture group for a node under cursor.

My own theme, link to dotfiles [here](https://github.com/Aumnescio/dotfiles). I'll release it in its own repo at some point, but its very simple, so fetching it from the dots isn't hard either, if someone wants to test it out.

In my theme, you'd just set all the "italic = true" to "italic = false".
