snipMate.vim is a Vim plugin written in Vim Script that brings TextMate-style snippet expansion to the Vim editor. It allows users to define and trigger concise code snippets with tab-stop placeholders.

Use cases

  • expand code snippets in vim like textmate
  • insert boilerplate code with tab stops in vim
  • define custom snippet templates for programming languages
  • speed up repetitive typing in the vim editor
  • migrate textmate snippet habits to vim

When to avoid

  • you are starting fresh - the README points to the actively maintained garbas/vim-snipmate fork
  • you use Neovim and prefer Lua-based snippet engines like LuaSnip
  • you need a plugin with an active license and ongoing maintenance
