How to add new snippets to snipMate in VIM

Question

Ive just started using the sniptMate plugin for VIM and love it, however, since my collection of snippets isn\'t huge, I\'d like to be able to add new snippets dynamically rathe

Answer 1

If you use vundle to manage your plugins on Windows and you have installed

vim-snipMate & vim-snippets

If you want to add your customization, say to 'html' filetype, you just go to this folder:

$HOME/vimfiles/bundle/vim-snippets/snippets/ 

create a new file and name it in this format:

html_bsmith.snippets  

(it must be underscore after html, see :help snipmate)

Then vim will load your file automatically.

If you customization can be used anywhere, just put it in the existing file:

    _.snippets
