Pulsar (i.e. active fork of Atom) has a pretty comprehensive snippets package that comes bundled with the editor. Can be configured with some fairly simple cson
, for example with Markdown:
'.source.gfm':
'Hello Lemmy':
'prefix': 'helem'
'body': 'Hello Lemmy!'
You type helem
then press tab
and it will expand to Hello Lemmy!
when using the Markdown grammar (source.gfm
).
It can handle custom tab stops too so you can make a longer preformatted sentence with gaps to insert words which you can just tab through (the $1, $2, $3
).
'.source.gfm':
'My custom snippet':
'prefix': 'mcs'
'body': 'My snippet stops here $1 and then here $2 and then continues $3'
You can even do multi-line snippets. For anyone wanting to try it out the docs are here
