Leaderf-snippet

This plugin takes the advantage of the well-known fuzzy finder Leaderf to provide an intuitive way to input snippets:

Snippet names are hard to remember, therefore, I made a Leaderf extension to help input snippets.

Feature

• Read snippets from SnipMate, UltiSnips, NeoSnippet, or LuaSnip.
• Display snippet descriptions in the fuzzy finder.
• Work in both INSERT mode and NORMAL mode.

Installation

" Leaderf-snippet
Plug 'Yggdroot/LeaderF'
Plug 'skywind3000/Leaderf-snippet'

A supported snippet engine, UltiSnips (recommended), SnipMate, or NeoSnippet is required.

Configuration

" maps
inoremap <c-x><c-x> <c-\><c-o>:Leaderf snippet<cr>

" optional: preview
let g:Lf_PreviewResult = get(g:, 'Lf_PreviewResult', {})
let g:Lf_PreviewResult.snippet = 1

Why Leaderf ?

vim-fzf has a Snippets command, but it doesn't provide enough information for each snippet and it can't work correctly in INSERT mode:

Compare to fzf, Leaderf has a NORMAL mode which allows me to browse my snippets more easily like in a normal vim window:

Browse my snippets with full of details. No worry about forgetting snippets.
