| description |
Snippets are fragments of code, usually related to keywords .
For example the C language defines "for" and "do" as keywords,
among others. Since "for" is usually written
as :
for (...;...;...) {
//code here
}
Most users will create an abbreviation for the keyword "for" to add the
parenthesis and curly-braces such as :
iabb xFor for<space>(<space>;<space>;<space>)<space>{<cr><cr>}
To accomplish this using snippets, create a file with these lines :
for ( <#cursor#>; ; ) {
}
Now when editing a 'c' file, when you type 'for<C-S>' ,for is replaced by the
snippet of code you placed in the file. Additionally the cursor is placed
between the opening ( and the first ; ... ready for you to begin typing.
