SnippetsLab

Unofficial SnippetsLab integration for VS Code.

Description

Access your SnippetsLab snippets directly in VSCode and enjoy full compatibility with native VSCode snippet syntax.

Requirements

• SnippetsLab (MacOS only)
• The extensions needs the path of your SnippetsLab backup folder. By default, it is ~/Library/Containers/com.renfei.snippets-lab/Data/Library/Application Support/SnippetsLab. You can change it in the extension settings.

Usage

Simply open the command palette and run the SnippetsLab: Show All Snippets or SnippetsLab: Show Language Snippets command for language specific snippets.

Ignore Snippets

You can ignore snippets by adding the vscode-ignore tag to the snippet in SnippetsLab.

Available Commands

• By default, the extension does not provide any shortcut. But you can assign each command to one. (see Key Bindings for Visual Studio Code for more information).

Example keybindings.json :

[
    {
        "key": "alt+shift+s",
        "command": "snippetslab.showAllSnippets"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+alt+s",
        "command": "snippetslab.showLanguageSnippets"
    },
]

Configuration

• snippetslab.backupFolder: Path to your SnippetsLab backup library. Default: ~/Library/Containers/com.renfei.snippets-lab/Data/Library/Application Support/SnippetsLab

• snippetslab.searchSnippetsByDescription: Search snippets by description. Default: true

• snippetslab.searchSnippetsByDetails: Search snippets by details. Default: true

• snippetslab.copySnippetToClipboard: Copy snippet to clipboard. Default: false

Notes

The extension uses the latest backup of your SnippetsLab library. If you don't see your latest snippets, please back up your library and restart VS Code.
