Extension Settings

Description in settings.json

Add the objects at "quickpicksnippets.snippets"section in your settings.json. Each object can have "group","snippet" and "name" keys with corresponding values. In the sample case displayed above, description in settings.json is as follows:

{
...
	"quickpicksnippets.snippets": [
		{
			"snippet": "${CURRENT_DATE}\/${CURRENT_MONTH}\/${CURRENT_YEAR_SHORT}",
			"name": "today"
		},
		{
			"group": "address",
			"snippet": "hoge@hoge.com",
			"name": "email"
		},
		{
			"group": "address",
			"snippet": "your home address",
			"name": "home"
		}
	]
...
}

Write your snippet string as a value of "snippet" key. The values of the "name" keys are your snippet names which will be displayed as Quick Pick list items. If you omit this key, snippet string itself will be displayed instead.

A "group" key is also optional. If this key and value are set, the value (i.e. a name of a group) will be displayed as Quick Pick list items. If you select a group, list of names of snippets which belong to the group will be displayed.
