INTRODUCTION *neosnippet-introduction*
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
This plugin analyzes snippet files which you can use for completion. It offers
2012-10-30 16:47:01 +00:00
functionality similar to snipMate.vim or snippetsEmu.vim. Since you can choose
2013-06-04 13:39:30 +00:00
snippets with the neocomplcache/neocomplete interface, you might have less
trouble using them, because you do not have to remember each snippet name.
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00

INSTALL *neosnippet-install*
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
2012-09-30 08:23:02 +00:00
1: Extract the file and put files in your Vim directory
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
(usually ~/.vim/ or Program Files/Vim/vimfiles on Windows).
2012-09-30 08:23:02 +00:00
Note: If you want to complete snippets, you must install neocomplcache
2013-06-05 05:29:46 +00:00
(https://github.com/Shougo/neocomplcache.vim) or
neocomplete(https://github.com/Shougo/neocomplete.vim).
2012-09-30 08:23:02 +00:00
2013-06-05 05:29:46 +00:00
Note: neocomplcache or neocomplete is NOT required! But recommended.
2013-02-24 13:23:31 +00:00
2013-03-24 08:22:20 +00:00
Extra snippets files are available in:

2012-10-30 08:25:43 +00:00
2013-04-11 20:02:59 +00:00
Creates a cache for the snippets of the given [filetype]. It
2012-12-08 13:57:59 +00:00
automatically chooses the current buffer's file type unless you
2013-04-11 20:02:59 +00:00
specify another one by [filetype].
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
:NeoSnippetEdit [{options}] [filetype]
*:NeoSnippetEdit*
2013-04-11 20:02:59 +00:00
Opens the snippets for a given [filetype] to edit. It automatically
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
selects the current buffer's filetype unless you specify
another one by [filetype].
2012-10-04 03:35:07 +00:00
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
If the path to [filetype] snippets is a directory, it
2013-04-11 20:02:59 +00:00
automatically selects "[filetype].snip" in the [filetype]
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
subdirectory.
It edits a snippet file in |g:neosnippet#snippets_directory|
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
with precedence. The snippets are re-cached automatically
2012-10-30 08:25:43 +00:00
when you save the file after edit.
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00

VARIABLES *neosnippet-variables*
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
2012-09-30 09:04:48 +00:00
g:neosnippet#snippets_directory *g:neosnippet#snippets_directory*
2012-05-05 15:19:01 +00:00
This variable appoints a path to user-defined snippet files.
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
You can set multiple values in comma-separated form. Non
existing directories are ignored.
2012-05-05 15:19:01 +00:00
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
User defined snippet files are read after the built-in snippet
2012-12-08 13:57:59 +00:00
files. If redundant snippets occur they get overwritten and
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
only the last one remains.
2012-10-19 07:11:37 +00:00
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
Note: The neosnippet plug-in loads file type snippets from
several files if available. For example if you edit a "Vim"
2013-04-11 20:02:59 +00:00
file it loads the snippets from:
2012-10-30 16:47:01 +00:00
- "vim.snip*"
- "vim_*.snip*"
- "vim/**/*.snip"
2012-05-05 09:08:56 +00:00
2012-05-05 15:19:01 +00:00
This variable doesn't exist unless you declare it.
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
2012-09-30 09:04:48 +00:00
g:neosnippet#disable_select_mode_mappings
*g:neosnippet#disable_select_mode_mappings*
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
This variable disables key-mappings in |Select-mode| where the
snippets_complete performs the snippet completion. Usually it
2013-04-11 20:02:59 +00:00
is better to leave it as it is. But if you have troubles with
the buffer switcher LustyJuggler you can switch them off.
The default value is 1.
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
2012-09-30 09:04:48 +00:00
g:neosnippet#disable_runtime_snippets
*g:neosnippet#disable_runtime_snippets*
2012-10-30 16:47:01 +00:00
This is a dictionary variable which uses file types as key.
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
If you set the value of a file type entry to 1, this prevents
loading all the file type specific built-in snippets. This is
2013-04-11 20:02:59 +00:00
very useful to prevent snippet conflicts between self
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
defined snippet files and the built-in snippet files of
2012-12-08 13:57:59 +00:00
neosnippet. If you use a "_" as key for an entry this will
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
treat the value of the entry as default value for all file
types.
Note: This dictionary must be set in your .vimrc.
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
For example:
>
let g:neosnippet#disable_runtime_snippets = {
\ 'c' : 1, 'cpp' : 1,
\ }
" which disables all runtime snippets
let g:neosnippet#disable_runtime_snippets = {
\ '_' : 1,
\ }
<
The default value is {}.
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
g:neosnippet#enable_snipmate_compatibility
*g:neosnippet#enable_snipmate_compatibility*
2013-04-11 20:02:59 +00:00
If this variable is not 0, neosnippet will enable the snipMate
compatibility feature (For example: Filename() function).
The default value is 0.
g:neosnippet#enable_preview *g:neosnippet#enable_preview*
2013-04-11 20:02:59 +00:00
If this variable is not 0, neosnippet will enable the preview window
feature.
The default value is 0.

SNIPPET SYNTAX *neosnippet-snippet-syntax*
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
2013-04-10 21:11:16 +00:00
It is quite easy to create your own snippets. You can use the example below to
2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
get started.
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
Example:
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
>
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
snippet [name]
abbr [abbreviation]
alias [aliases]
2012-12-08 13:57:59 +00:00
regexp [pattern]
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
options [options]
if ${1:condition}
${2}
endif
The snippet syntax is close to the one of |snipMate|. Each snippet starts with
2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
some keywords that define the name and modify the expansion and treatment of
the snippet.
2012-10-21 08:51:07 +00:00
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
Snippet Keywords:
2012-11-05 07:41:01 +00:00
- snippet [name] (Required)
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
Each snippet starts with the keyword "snippet". This keyword is
directly followed by the snippet name. The snippet name is used to
expand the snippet.
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
2012-11-05 07:41:01 +00:00
- abbr [name] (Optional)
2012-10-30 16:47:01 +00:00
2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
You can define an abbreviation for the snippet name. It will be
2013-06-04 13:39:30 +00:00
displayed in the drop down selection menu.
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00

- alias [aliases] (Optional)
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
Alias names can be use as additional keywords to expand the snippet.
You can define multiple aliases using either spaces ' ' or commas ','
as separator.
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
Example
2012-10-30 16:47:01 +00:00
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
>
alias hoge hogera hogehoge

2012-11-03 06:35:27 +00:00
2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
A pattern can be defined via a regular expression. The snippet expands
only when the expression pattern is matched.
2012-11-03 06:35:27 +00:00
Example
2012-11-03 06:35:27 +00:00
>
regexp '^% '
2012-11-03 06:35:27 +00:00

2013-06-28 06:37:51 +00:00
This snippet works same as "options head".

- options [options] (Optional)
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
Options influence the snippet behavior. The possible values are:

2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
+ word This snippet expands by a word boundary.
Note: To complete the trigger with snippets_complete, it must
be a word character (digits, alphabetical characters or "_").

Note: This is the same as "prev_word '^'" which is still
2012-10-31 07:35:20 +00:00
there for backwards compatibility.

2012-10-31 07:35:20 +00:00

2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
+ indent The horizontal position of the snippet will be adjusted
2013-04-10 13:17:05 +00:00
to the indent of the line above the snippet after expansion.
2012-10-31 07:35:20 +00:00
The snippet itself starts below the part that contains the options, snippet
aliases and keywords, described above. It contains the snippet which gets
expanded which can contain several placeholders. The placeholders are used as
2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
jump points while expanding the snippet. There are several placeholders
available providing different functionality.
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
The structure of a placeholder can be:
- ${number:placeholder text}
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
The placeholder starts with a dollar sign "$". The number of a
placeholder and the placeholder text are separated by a colon ":".
They are surrounded by a pair of curly braces "{}". The placeholder
text is displayed after the snippet expansion and will be replaced by
your text. If you jump over the snippet and do not insert any text in
that placeholder position the text remains there. This can be used as
a default value for a certain position.
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
Example
2012-10-30 16:47:01 +00:00
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
>
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
snippet if
if ${1:condition}
${2}
endif
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
<
2012-10-30 16:47:01 +00:00
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
- ${number:#:placeholder text}
2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
In this kind of placeholder the number is followed by the hash
character "#". If you jump over this placeholder and do not insert
any text, the placeholder text will be removed.
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
Example
2012-10-30 16:47:01 +00:00
2012-10-17 08:43:23 +00:00
>
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
snippet if
if ${1:#:condition}
${2}
endif
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
<
- ${number:TARGET}
2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
This is the target placeholder which is replaced by text from a visual
selection.
Note: You need to make a visual selection and expand your
snippet with the key mapping below for this to work.
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
|<Plug>(neosnippet_expand_target)|.
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
This is very useful if you edit text and decide to put something in an
environment or some sort of brackets for folding.
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
Example
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
>
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
snippet if

2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
<
- ${number}
2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
This is a placeholder which you can use as a simple jump position.
This can be useful if you edit a placeholder inside of some sort of
brackets or environment and want to go on behind it after that.
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
Example
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
>
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
snippet if
if ${1:#:condition}
${2:do}
endif

2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
- ${0}
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
This is a synchronized placeholder. Sometimes it is required to repeat
a value in several positions inside a snippet. If you set the number
of this placeholder to the same number as one of the other
placeholders in the snippet, it will repeat its content. $1 is
synchronized to ${1} and so on. ${0} will be the final jump
placeholder.
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
Example
2012-10-30 16:47:01 +00:00
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
>
snippet namespace

<
2012-10-30 16:47:01 +00:00
2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
Note: If you like to include characters in snippets that already have
a special meaning to neosnippet you need to escape them with a
backslash.

Vim has a built-in expression evaluation. You can also use this feature inside
of snippets if you use back ticks like in the example below. Here the "%:t"
gets expanded to the name of the current active file and the current time gets
inserted by expanding the output of the strftime command.
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00

2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
<
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
You can also nest placeholders if you escape the special characters.

In some cases you need to escape the curly brace "}" twice as shown in the
example below.

2012-10-29 22:45:46 +00:00
<
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
This is because ${1:} substitutes the pattern to "/${2:pattern: empty, E484,
Vim(cmdname):{errmsg\}}" and ${2:} substitutes the pattern to "pattern: empty,
E484, Vim(cmdname):{errmsg}"
If you create a snippet file and prepend the filename with a "_" neosnippet
treats the snippets inside the file as global. This means that they will be
2012-11-03 03:33:18 +00:00
available for all file types (e.g _.snip). You can include other snippet files
from within a snippet file with.

If you include snippet files it can happen that the same snippet name is used
multiple times in different snippet files. Neosnippet produces a warning if it
detects this. If you want to overwrite a snippet explicitly, please use:
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
>
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
delete snippets_name
2012-02-02 04:33:35 +00:00
<
2012-10-30 20:45:29 +00:00
After that you can redefine the snippet. But this does not work if you include
external snippet files. There will be no warning when snippets get overwritten.
2013-04-23 13:19:53 +00:00
Multi snippet feature in snipMate is available. Neosnippet substitutes trigger
and descriptions spaces to '_'.

If you use hard-tab for indentation inside a snippet file, neosnippet will use

'shiftwidth' instead of Vim indent plugin. This feature is useful while some
languages' indent files do not work very well (e.g.: PHP, Python).
