Primary LanguagePythonGNU General Public License v3.0GPL-3.0

About

I don't always use VSCode. But when I do, I use Ultisnips.

This script allows you to write all of your snippets in vims Ultisnips format, and convert the whole batch to json format for use in vscode.

Installation

  • Clone this repository
  • cd ultisnips-vscode
  • pip install .

Usage

  • Create a config file at ~/.vscode/ultisnips-vscode.json
  • Add the paths to your snippets folders.
  • On a mac this file might contain:
{
    "ultisnips-snippets":  "~/.vim/UltiSnips/",
    "vscode-snippets": "~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/snippets/"
}
  • On linux this file might contain:
{
    "ultisnips-snippets":  "~/.config/nvim/UltiSnips",
    "vscode-snippets": "~/.config/Code/User/snippets/"
}
  • Source your shell, or log out and log back in so the script is in your $PATH
  • Run the command ultisnips_to_vscode to synchronize your snippets. This will output something like:
