UltiSnips is a fast, feature-rich snippet engine plugin for Vim and Neovim. It supports placeholder tabstops, mirrored text, dynamic tabstop generation, and integration with completion engines like YouCompleteMe and deoplete.

Use cases

  • expand code snippets in vim
  • jump through snippet placeholders
  • create custom snippets for my language
  • mirror text across multiple places in a snippet
  • integrate snippets with my completion plugin

When to choose

  • you use Vim or Neovim and want powerful, fast snippet expansion
  • you need advanced snippet features like mirrored placeholders and dynamic tabstops
  • you want to pair snippets with completion engines like YouCompleteMe

When to avoid

  • you use an editor other than Vim or Neovim
  • you prefer a Lua-native snippet engine like LuaSnip in Neovim
  • you only need very basic snippet functionality
