Schnipsel

Schnipsel – Snippet generation made easy!

This extension adds the command Copy Code as Snippet to your Command Palette. When run, it converts the selected code, or the entire file if nothing is selected, into a ready-to-use VS Code snippet and copies it to your clipboard.

Features

• Command Integration: Adds Copy Code as Snippet to the Command Palette.
• Intelligent Snippet Generation: Converts code into a snippet while preserving spacing and indentation.
• Smart Tab Stops: Replaces key symbols like function names, interfaces, and types with tab stops for quick editing.

Usage

1. Select your code: Highlight the code you want to convert. (If no selection is made, the entire file is used.)
2. Run the command: Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P) and search for Copy Code as Snippet.
3. Paste your snippet: A success message appears. Click Open to jump to your snippets file and paste it in.
4. Customize: Edit the snippet’s name, prefix, or body if needed.
5. Done! Your snippet is ready to use.
