Snippets with CoC
Install
Plug 'honza/vim-snippets'Make sure you install CoC, I have a video for that here
After setting up CoC you can install with:
:CocInstall coc-snippetsConfig
You can create a config file and add the following:
" Use <C-l> for trigger snippet expand.
imap <C-l> <Plug>(coc-snippets-expand)
" Use <C-j> for select text for visual placeholder of snippet.
vmap <C-j> <Plug>(coc-snippets-select)
" Use <C-j> for jump to next placeholder, it's default of coc.nvim
let g:coc_snippet_next = '<c-j>'
" Use <C-k> for jump to previous placeholder, it's default of coc.nvim
let g:coc_snippet_prev = '<c-k>'
" Use <C-j> for both expand and jump (make expand higher priority.)
imap <C-j> <Plug>(coc-snippets-expand-jump)Add your own snippets
Edit coc-settings.json and add the following:
"snippets.userSnippetsDirectory": "~/.config/nvim/snips",After that you can add a file like this:
mkdir ~/.config/nvim/snips
touch ~/.config/nvim/snips/markdown.snippets # <- doesn't have to be called markdownCommands
You'll be able to notice it's a snippet from the ~ character
Auto complete should feel very familiar, refer to the earlier bindings you set.
To list all snippets for a current file:
:CocList snippets
:CocCommand snippets.editSnippets
:CocCommand snippets.openSnippetFiles
