Dippet - The Dynamic Snippet

Use snippets as command triggers.

Configuration

The default does nothing, so create your own snippet in the settings.json.

"dippet.entry": {
  "javascript": [ // Language ID
    {
      "prefix": "uuid",
      "description": "Generate UUID",
      "body": "", // Can be omitted as it is empty.
      "command": ["cmd: uuid.generate", "cmd: cursorRight"]
    }
  ]
}

*The command uuid.generate in this example requires UUID Generator.

Scope

Language ID : The language of snippets applied. You can specify "*" to apply to all languages.

Snippet

• prefix : The trigger word for its snippet.

• description : Description for its snippet. Displayed when its snippet is suggested.

• body : Body of its snippet.

• command : Tasks to be executed when using its snippet.

  Command types

  • cmd : ID of command. (e.g. cmd: workbench.action.files.save)
  • shell : Shell command to be executed in the terminal. (e.g. shell: echo Hello)

You can omit anything other than prefix that you do not need.
