Snippets with CoC

Install

Plug 'honza/vim-snippets'

Make sure you install CoC, I have a video for that here

After setting up CoC you can install with:

:CocInstall coc-snippets

Config

You can create a config file and add the following:

" Use <C-l> for trigger snippet expand. imap <C-l> <Plug>(coc-snippets-expand) " Use <C-j> for select text for visual placeholder of snippet. vmap <C-j> <Plug>(coc-snippets-select) " Use <C-j> for jump to next placeholder, it's default of coc.nvim let g:coc_snippet_next = '<c-j>' " Use <C-k> for jump to previous placeholder, it's default of coc.nvim let g:coc_snippet_prev = '<c-k>' " Use <C-j> for both expand and jump (make expand higher priority.) imap <C-j> <Plug>(coc-snippets-expand-jump)

Add your own snippets

Edit coc-settings.json and add the following:

"snippets.userSnippetsDirectory": "~/.config/nvim/snips",

After that you can add a file like this:

mkdir ~/.config/nvim/snips touch ~/.config/nvim/snips/markdown.snippets # <- doesn't have to be called markdown

Commands

You'll be able to notice it's a snippet from the ~ character

Auto complete should feel very familiar, refer to the earlier bindings you set.

To list all snippets for a current file:

:CocList snippets :CocCommand snippets.editSnippets :CocCommand snippets.openSnippetFiles
