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
