Sniptastic

#1

The snippet menu is hard to navigate. It’s filled with contextually-useless snippets. I don’t know that I’ve ever inserted Scala snippets in the middle of Python.

Enter Sniptastic.

Sniptastic is a context-sensitive, searchable snippets panel. You only see the snippets Sublime would insert, not the whole list from all the languages you never use. You see the tab shortcut, snippet description, and a preview of the snippet code.

[size=200]Get Sniptastic.[/size]

Take a look at the README for installation instructions. The default activation hotkey is “ctrl+super+s” (super is the windows, meta, or, command key). If you feel like changing the key binding, just look for “ctrl+super+s” in the sublime-keybind file and change as you desire.

[size=85]@Jon: why is the quick panel not fixed-width font and has no tab stops? :smile: either of those would be nice in at least the secondary rows… could make plugins like this prettier.[/size]

Ah… This is awesome!

Contextual awareness too!

turns out the command palette (cmd+shift+P) searches context-sensitive snippets as well (try the ‘snip’ keyword), but doesn’t give a code preview and is mixed with other options. so this plugin still has a place.

I wasn’t able to get this to work. I’m using 2076 on Ubuntu Linux. I’ve tried remapping the shortcut, but it sill does nothing.

Great plugin… one thing i noticed, it doesn’t pull up the snippets for coffeescript… but in the command palette they show and they also work with tab… any ideas?

It also looks like I don’t see all the tab snippets either…

are the missing snippets inside a tmBundle?
you have two options for a snippet not showing: either the current code didn’t match the snippet’s scope selector, or the snippet wasn’t in a search path and not loaded by the plugin.
if you can tell me how/where exactly the snippet is installed, and give me examples of broken snippets, I can better test

if they were installed via tmBundle, see if the latest commit fixes it
