SnipMate

SnipMate aims to provide support for textual snippets, similar to TextMate or other Vim plugins like UltiSnips. For example, in C, typing for<tab> could be expanded to

for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
    /* code */
}

with successive presses of tab jumping around the snippet.

Originally authored by Michael Sanders, SnipMate was forked in 2011 after a stagnation in development. This fork is currently maintained by Rok Garbas, Marc Weber, and Adnan Zafar.

Installing SnipMate

SnipMate depends on vim-addon-mw-utils and tlib. We recommend one of the following ways of installing all three.

• Using Pathogen, run the following commands:

    % cd ~/.vim/bundle
    % git clone https://github.com/tomtom/tlib_vim.git
    % git clone https://github.com/MarcWeber/vim-addon-mw-utils.git
    % git clone https://github.com/garbas/vim-snipmate.git
  

• Using VAM, add vim-snippets to the list of packages to be installed.

• Using Vundle, add the following to your vimrc then run :BundleInstall

    Bundle "MarcWeber/vim-addon-mw-utils"
    Bundle "tomtom/tlib_vim"
    Bundle "garbas/vim-snipmate"
  

Lastly, since SnipMate does not ship with any snippets, we suggest looking at the vim-snippets repository.
