snipmate

Vim is installed at /usr/share/vim. All snipMate 's folders were added to this category in existing folders (after, autoload, plugin, snippets, etc.) accordingly. From the documentation file: For instance, to change the trigger key to CTRL-J, just change this: ino <tab> <c-r>=TriggerSnippet()<cr> snor <tab> <esc>i<right><c-r>=TriggerSnippet()<cr> to this: ino <c-j> <c-r>=TriggerSnippet()<cr> snor <c-j> <esc>i<right><c-r>=TriggerSnippet()<cr> I tried this as well - the same result. When I try to trigger snippet match it only adds a tab (4 spaces, accordingly to my .vimrc). P.S. filetype plugin

Ive just started using the sniptMate plugin for VIM and love it, however, since my collection of snippets isn't huge, I'd like to be able to add new snippets dynamically rather than opening the snippets file and creating a new snippet as I am in the middle of development. As I am coding something I realize that some specific piece of code can be saved as a snippet to save me trouble of typing the bloat code again, at this time I want to be able to add a snippet without opening the snippet file for the language I am using at the time. I'm not sure it's meant to be done like this but you can try

When I'm in an html.erb file, I get no snipMate snippets. I would like both HTML and Ruby, or just HTML would be fine, How would I do this? Would I need to write a set of snippets? If so, is there a way of pulling in existing snippets without copying them? Is there a way of telling vim to go into html mode when it sees .html erb? Snippets are stored in directory called snippets somewhere in your ~/.vim folder. If you look there, there is usually one file per filetype, there is a c.snippets, a ruby.snippets, so it seems what you have to do is to create an erb.snippets there with what you want.

I am using vim and snipMate, many times I need to name the HTML files to PHP, just because of 1 or 2 lines of code. I every time I create a PHP file vim takes it as PHP file and so the HTML snippets are not available, thus have to activate the HTML snippets manually with the command. set ft=php.html I intend to activate it automatically in this this line on my vimrc autocmd BufREad, BufNewFile *.php set ft=php.html Is this correct? I am missing anything or is something wrong? You will need to make it two separate directives. au BufRead *.php set ft=php.html au BufNewFile *.php set ft=php.html
