View and edit all your snippets in one purty place. Yee-haw!
Snippets are grouped as: User, Extension, and VS Code.
The table of contents facilitates quick navigation to a snippets set. Pressing the Home key will return you to the table of contents.
There are sticky headings to ensure you can browse through long snippet lists without losing context. 🦎🔝
The snippet body is prettily formatted. 🌻✨
