vim-snippets VS vim-surround

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.

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.

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?

It includes the snippets from honza/vim-snippets and my own snippets.

vim-snippets as you've already mentioned.

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.

Sorry does it?

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).

I may be mistaken, but it seems to me that this neat feature comes from this plugin : https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround

Vim can do this with the following plugin: https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround

I exclusively use the visual mode commands though, because I find the normal-mode commands confusing.

e.g. in vim-surround you could just do something like ysiw_ to make a word italics or ysiw*w. (assuming you also have vim-repeat).

vim-surround act on surrounding characters (think quotes, braces, parentheses...)

Surround is a plugin which adds more text objects: https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround

cs"': change surrounding quotes, e.g. "foo" -> 'foo'

cs([: change surrounding brackets, e.g. (foo) -> [ foo ]

( cs]) would omit the spaces)

ci": change in quotes, e.g. "foo" -> "" (in insert mode between the quotes)

ca": change around quotes, e.g. x"foo"y -> xy (in insert mode between x and y

viWS: add tag around current word using visual mode, e.g. foo -> foo

dst: delete surrounding tag, e.g. foo -> foo

It's really good. I'm not familiar with argument.

It supports multiple selection, inserting into different locations (i I a A o O) and final vim mode (insert, normal and visual). The example uses visual mode and vim-surround to add quotation marks.

I have mappings for single character movement in insert mode ( and ). But, using something like https://github.com/tpope/vim-surround is also really useful for something like this. I have an "inner line" motion so that I can do something like ysil] to wrap the whole line in brackets after typing the initial thing.
