    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 ... ;)

    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.

  • How to automatically include C headers in vim?
    2 projects | /r/C_Programming | 29 Jul 2021
    Auto adding include files or a specific non-static function is generally a bad idea, but I use yasnippet on Emacs for copyright/licensing info, this seemingly has the same purpose but oriented towards vim users, which makes file templates trivial (on Emacs at least, I don’t usually use vim unless I can’t use Emacs or mg for some reason).

    5 projects | /r/neovim | 16 Oct 2022
    Not exactly what you are asking for, but table formatting is usually enough with general purpose align plugins: - mini.align - junegunn/vim-easy-align - godlygeek/tabular

  • mini.align - align text interactively (like 'vim-easy-align', but in Lua and slightly different mechanics)
    3 projects | /r/neovim | 22 Sep 2022
    I am happy to announce the release of mini.align - module of mini.nvim for aligning text interactively (with or without live preview). This is mostly designed after junegunn/vim-easy-align, but is implemented in Lua and has slightly different alignment specification and user interaction lifecycle.

    vim-easy-align - I haven't yet found a Lua-based equivalent with the same flexibility.

    Also does this plugin support operator-pending mode like vim-easy-align does? For instance doing gaip, ("go align in paragraph; commas) in normal mode aligns all commas in the current paragraph.
