snippetsEmu is the best vim plugin!
thanks for your work.

Thanks a lot man.
 

At least state on the project page that I'm supposed to download two files. I wasn't sure which file to get before I came here.
 

Extremely handy!
By the way, I noticed there's a more recent version on vim.org than the one you announced here. Would it be possible to announce new versions on your blog, such that I can subscribe on an RSS feed to stay up to date with your scripts? Thanks!
 

Just found snippets and it's the best thing I've found with vim in years. I wrote my own crappy version years ago. This puts my effort to shame. However what I don't like is having to edit nasty vim eval strings to modify my snippets.

I've made a a snippetsEmu extension so that you can place plain text bundle files in a directory and the trigger word is the file name. I like it and you can get it off github at

Cheers

and thanks again for such a cool plugin.
 

Thanks for such as useful (very) vim's plugin.
 

great plugin!
i have a question: is it posible to delete characters before the snippet tag if the i skip the snippet?
for example:
i have TAB asigned for navigating through the snippets.
1) I load the django_model_snippets.vim
2) type in mchar[TAB] and the following appears: models.CharField(maxlength=<{50}><{}>)<{}>
3) if i press tab again it goes to models.CharField(maxlength=50)<{}>

my question is .. instead of resulting in step 3 is there any posibility of presing tab and the result to be: models.CharField() ?

Thanks in advanced !

There's no real way to do that; the best way would be to define a new snippet. I believe that the maxlength is included as it's required by Django. If that's not the case these days then can you file a bug on the tracker and I'll tweak the bundle.
 

hi, i would like to know how to turn on the snipetEmu automatically on every file i open ?

I create new snippets for GSP (groovy server pages) and I associate the gsp files with XHTML syntax. Everytime i want to use snippetEmu, i need to click on Menu -> Snippets-> gsp

any shortcut for that ?
