Smart Snippet Manager

Smart Snippet Manager is a powerful VS Code extension that allows you to create, tag, edit, search, organize, and run terminal command snippets—with support for custom terminal types, optional flags, and import/export functionality.

🚀 Features

  • 💻 Run saved terminal commands in CMD, PowerShell, or custom terminals.

  • 🏷️ Add tags to snippets for grouping and searching.

  • 📝 Edit, delete, or temporarily upload snippets.

  • 🔍 Search snippets with live preview of tags and terminal types.

  • 📁 Open the snippets storage folder directly in your file explorer.

  • 🔄 Import/export your snippets as JSON files for backup or sharing.

  • 📚 Organized snippet tree in the sidebar with sorting support.

📦 Requirements

  • VS Code v1.100.0 or later.

  • Terminal types must be available on your system (e.g., cmd, pwsh, or other shell executables).

⚙️ Extension Commands

  • Smart Snippet: Add Snippet Create a new snippet with command, terminal type, flags, and tags.
  • Smart Snippet: Search / Run / Edit / Delete Open the snippet manager UI to run, edit, or delete saved snippets.
  • Smart Snippet: Open Snippet Folder Opens the storage folder in your OS file explorer.
  • Smart Snippet: Export Snippets Save all current snippets as a JSON file.
  • Smart Snippet: Import Snippets Import snippets from a previously exported JSON file.

Use Ctrl + Alt + S as a shortcut to launch the snippet search menu.

📁 Where Are Snippets Stored?

Snippets are stored in a snippets/snippets.json file within your VS Code global storage path.

To open this folder easily, use the command: Smart Snippet: Open Snippet Folder

🏷️ Tagging and Grouping

Each snippet can include multiple tags (e.g., build, test, deploy). Tags appear in the search menu and will support grouping/filtering in future releases.

🔄 Importing / Exporting Snippets

Export your full snippet collection as JSON for backup or sharing:

  • Export → saves a .json file containing all snippets.

  • Import → lets you load previously saved snippets into the manager.

You can version control or share these JSON files across teams.

🧪 Known Issues

Only one snippet can be executed at a time.

No validation of terminal command safety—be cautious when importing snippets from others.
