Visual Studio Code user snippets not working

Answer 1

Sometimes the obvious that gets overlooked first. Upon starting VSCode and creating a new document (Ctrl + N) it may come as a surprise that the snippets do not work. Check in the bottom right hand corner of the VSCode editor as per default a 'Plain Text' file is presented. Change the file type to your favourite language with snippets.

This may overcome some unnecessary trouble shooting ;-)
