plugin Snippets: now supports snippets from VS Code editor

Post by **Alexey** » 09.10.2020 20:58

Plugin is updated.
Big rework by @OlehL:
+ new command "Install VSCode snippets..." - to install snippets from VS Code Marketplace
+ new command "Delete snippet markers" - clears all markers in the current editor tab
+ reworked snippets engine to support VS Code snippets
+ now you can insert snippet in another snippet
+ improved work with placeholders ${}, now placeholders can be nested

"Install VSCode snippets" shows new dialog:

Menu from '=' button allows to change some filter options:
- fuzzy
- whole words search
- search in title or description

After you choose the set by Enter/dbl-click, additional dialog shows to choose CudaText lexer(s) for VSCode lexer:

VSCode snippets are installed to data/snippets_vs/ dir.

Am I understanding correctly that the only way to add a new snippet is to edit the json file in the snippet package?

as I see, I can create new folder in data/snippets_ct/, and make there some files like in Cud distro: data/snippets_ct/std.HTML folder.

Sorry, Yes, I figured out that I can add custom snippets like that, but I meant is there maybe something "hidden" in CudaText like "Tools > New Snippet..." in SynWrite.

Nope. but you can modify the Snippets plugin and give me the Pull request.

For me multiline snippets do not respect indentation (first line will appear properly at the caret position, but the other ones will be at the line start). Is it my fault?

Multiline snippet example

Code: Select all

    "for": {
        "body": [
            "for(int i = 0; i < ${1}; i++){\n\t\n}"
        ],
        "prefix": [
            "for"
        ]
    },

OlehL suggested to rework this snippet, to fix it
https://github.com/OlehL/cuda_snippets/issues/35
So it's solved?

Plugin was improved by @Shovel, added new command "Add/edit snippets"
to show such dialog, it is editor of snippets collections (in new json format).
