Describe the feature
VSCode has a feature that allows you to write your own snippets: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets#_create-your-own-snippets
It would be nice if Zed supported something similar. A major improvement from VSCode would be better support for multiline snippets. Currently, they have to be written in array form, like so: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41856706/whats-the-best-way-to-write-multi-line-code-snippets-in-vs-code
However, I think it would be nice to allow loading snippets from individual files (maybe under a .zed/snippets directory?), especially if it's a longer snippet (my personal use is a template for competitive programming that includes several necessary headers, macros, and globals).
If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature
No response
Snippets or Live Templates (in JetBrains IDEs) are extremely powerful, quite an essential feature!
I see this is closed but you don't say if snippets will be something you will add in the future or not something you will ever add?
Are snippets something that could be added as an extension?
Thanks
