UltiSnips
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
UltiSnips is the ultimate solution for snippets in Vim. It has tons of features
|
|
and is very fast.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this demo I am editing a python file. I first expand the `#!` snippet, then
|
|
the `class` snippet. The completion menu comes from
|
|
[YouCompleteMe](https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe), UltiSnips also
|
|
integrates with [neocomplete](https://github.com/Shougo/neocomplete.vim). I can
|
|
jump through placeholders and add text while the snippet inserts text in other
|
|
places automatically: when I add `Animal` as a base class, `__init__` gets
|
|
updated to call the base class constructor. When I add arguments to the
|
|
constructor, they automatically get assigned to instance variables. I then
|
|
insert my personal snippet for `print` debugging. Note that I left insert mode,
|
|
inserted another snippet and went back to add an additional argument to
|
|
`__init__` and the class snippet was still active and added another instance
|
|
variable.

What can you do with UltiSnips?
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Advanced snippets:
|
|
|
|
* [Snippets Aliases](doc/examples/snippets-aliasing/README.md)
|
|
* [Dynamic Tabstops/Tabstop Generation](doc/examples/tabstop-generation/README.md)
|
|
|
|
Quick Start
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This assumes you are using [Vundle](https://github.com/gmarik/Vundle.vim). Adapt
|
|
for your plugin manager of choice. Put this into your `.vimrc`.
|
|
|
|
" Track the engine.
|
|
Plugin 'SirVer/ultisnips'
|
|
|
|
" Snippets are separated from the engine. Add this if you want them:
|
|
Plugin 'honza/vim-snippets'
|
|
|
|
" Trigger configuration. Do not use <tab> if you use https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe.
|
|
let g:UltiSnipsExpandTrigger="<tab>"
|
|
let g:UltiSnipsJumpForwardTrigger="<c-b>"
|
|
let g:UltiSnipsJumpBackwardTrigger="<c-z>"
|
|
|
|
" If you want :UltiSnipsEdit to split your window.
|
|
let g:UltiSnipsEditSplit="vertical"
|
|
|
|
UltiSnips comes with comprehensive
|
|
[documentation](https://github.com/SirVer/ultisnips/blob/master/doc/UltiSnips.txt).
|
|
As there are more options and tons of features I suggest you at least skim it.
