  • How to I find default snippets

  • JavaScript and CSS in HTML files
    4 projects | /r/neovim | 18 Dec 2022
    Also, I'm using vim-snipmate style snippets in LuaSnip. How can I import snippets in javascript.snippets in html.snippetswithout having to copy everything.
  • Can anybody give me some review of coq_nvim :>
    2 projects | /r/neovim | 3 Dec 2022
    cmp works fine and I was able to trivially make it only suggest lsp completion for me by only including lsp sources. The setup is significantly more complicated with having the install 7ish plugins instead of just 3 for coq. I don't think I would've had the patient to go through the setup when I was just starting to use neovim. cmp also have much nicer UI (e.g. it shoulds documentation and sometimes function signiture as you browse through the suggestion.) With snippet you can find something like https://github.com/honza/vim-snippets which have more than what I need. You also need to choose a snippet engine so that's more decision to make.

  • Is There a Snippet Collection for LuaSnip?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 29 Apr 2022
    Since LuaSnip also supports snipmate I'm using vim-snippets since it's offering a lot of snippets I'm using often without having to write my own. But as @eliizaak said: it's not Lua and perhaps I'll find the time and energy to learn a bit more about LuaSnip and write my own snippets ... ;)

    Does this include snippets apart from honza/vim-snippets?
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 20 Feb 2022
    It includes the snippets from honza/vim-snippets and my own snippets.

    vim-snippets as you've already mentioned.
  • Do Vim Snippets work in Obsidian?
    2 projects | /r/ObsidianMD | 24 Oct 2021
    Skimming over the blog post you linked, it appears that the author uses Vim plugins to get some of the snippets working, which I'm near-certain is impossible with the Vim features available to Obsidian. I don't think installing Vim plugins with vim-plug (as used by both myself and the author of the linked blog) is possible in Obsidian, for example. Without some way to manage installing Vim plugins, you won't be able to get plugins which enable vim snippets as used in the blog post.
  • [vimtex, vim-sandwich] How would you surround visual selected text with \emph{...} or \textbf{...} via a macro?

  • auto create code when i open new cpp file.
    5 projects | /r/vim | 21 Jul 2021
    On those topic I provide mu-template that is somewhat hybrid as it supports template inserted when a new file is opened-created, but also snippets. It can be completed by lh-cpp for even more advanced C++ related snippets. Note: they are definitively not trendy but I'm still using and maintaining them.
  • I want some text appears whenever I create a new buffer with a certain file extension.
    3 projects | /r/vim | 25 Jan 2021
    I'm maintaining mu-template. There exist many more plugins on the subject -- I remember a non exhaustive list on vim.wikia, now "fandom". Other people prefer pure snippets solutions where they manually request the expansion of the skeleton they wish to use.
