Neosnippet ========== The Neosnippet plug-In adds snippet support to Vim. Snippets are small templates for commonly used code that you can fill in on the fly. To use snippets can increase your productivity in Vim a lot. The functionality of this plug-in is quite similar to plug-ins like snipMate.vim or snippetsEmu.vim. But since you can choose snippets with the [Neocomplecache](https://github.com/Shougo/neocomplcache) interface, you might have less trouble using them, because you do not have to remember each snippet name. Installation ------------ To install neosnippet and other Vim plug-ins it is recommended to use one of the popular package managers for Vim, rather than installing by drag and drop all required files into your `.vim` folder. ### Manual (not recommended) 1. Install the [Neocomplecache](https://github.com/Shougo/neocomplcache) plugin first. 2. Put files in your Vim directory (usually `~/.vim/` or `%PROGRAMFILES%/Vim/vimfiles` on Windows). ### Vundle 1. Setup the [vundle](https://github.com/gmarik/vundle) package manager 2. Set the bundles for [Neocomplecache](https://github.com/Shougo/neocomplcache) and [Neobundle](https://github.com/Shougo/neosnippet) ``` Bundle 'Shougo/neocomplcache.git' Bundle 'Shougo/neosnippet.git' ``` 3. Open up Vim and start installation with `:BundleInstall` ### Neobundle 1. Setup the [neobundle](https://github.com/Shougo/neobundle.vim) package manager 2. Set the bundles for [Neocomplecache](https://github.com/Shougo/neocomplcache) and [Neobundle](https://github.com/Shougo/neosnippet) ``` NeoBundle 'Shougo/neocomplcache.git' NeoBundle 'Shougo/neosnippet.git' ``` 3. Open up Vim and start installation with `:NeoBundleInstall` Configuration ------------- This is an example `~/.vimrc` configuration for Neosnippet. It is assumes you already have Neocomplecache configured. With the settings of the example, you can use the following keys: * `C-k` to select-and-expand a snippet from the Neocomplecache popup (Use `C-n` and `C-p` to select it). `C-k` can also be used to jump to the next field in the snippet. * `Tab` to select the next field to fill in the snippet. ```vim " Plugin key-mappings. imap (neosnippet_expand_or_jump) smap (neosnippet_expand_or_jump) " SuperTab like snippets behavior. imap neosnippet#expandable() ? "\(neosnippet_expand_or_jump)" : pumvisible() ? "\" : "\" smap neosnippet#expandable() ? "\(neosnippet_expand_or_jump)" : "\" " For snippet_complete marker. if has('conceal') set conceallevel=2 concealcursor=i endif ``` If you want to use a different collection of snippets than the built-in ones, then you can set a path to the snippets with the `g:neosnippet#snippets_directory` variable (e.g [Honza's Snippets](https://github.com/honza/snipmate-snippets)) ```vim " Tell Neosnippet about the other snippets let g:neosnippet#snippets_directory='~/.vim/bundle/snipmate-snippets/snippets' ```
