Neosnippet

Description

Neosnippet add snippet support to vim, using the Neocomplecache framework.

What is a snippet? It's a template for commonly used code that you can fill in on the fly.

Installation

1. Install Neocomplecache first.
2. Put files in your Vim directory (usually ~/.vim/ or %PROGRAMFILES%/Vim/vimfiles on Windows).

Configuration

Here is an example ~/.vimrc configuration for Neosnippet. It is assumed you already have Neocomplecache configured.

With these settings, you will 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.

" Plugin key-mappings.
imap <C-k>     <Plug>(neosnippet_expand_or_jump)
smap <C-k>     <Plug>(neosnippet_expand_or_jump)

" SuperTab like snippets behavior.
imap <expr><TAB> neosnippet#expandable() ? "\<Plug>(neosnippet_expand_or_jump)" : pumvisible() ? "\<C-n>" : "\<TAB>"
smap <expr><TAB> neosnippet#expandable() ? "\<Plug>(neosnippet_expand_or_jump)" : "\<TAB>"

" For snippet_complete marker.
if has('conceal')
  set conceallevel=2 concealcursor=i
endif

If you want to use a different collection of snippets other than the built-in ones, such as Honza's Snippets, then you can set the g:neosnippet#snippets_directory variable.

" Tell Neosnippet about these snippets
let g:neosnippet#snippets_directory='~/.vim/bundle/snipmate-snippets/snippets'
