如何在Windows的$ home / vimfiles / after下创建自己的代码片段

Question

I am trying to create my own set of snippets for vim on Windows.

As soon as I create the directory $HOME/vimfiles/after/snippets (with or without files) the "standard" snippets (ie those that came with snipmate itself) won't be triggered anymore.

I have tried the same on a Linux installation where I was able to create a (working) set of snippets in ~/.vim/after/snippets/*.snippets .

What am I missing?

Edit An answer asked if I am using the original snipmate or the fork?

Answer: I was unaware of such a fork and I seem to be using the "original" one.

Edit II echo &rtp contains C:\\Users\\Rene/vimfiles/after (under which I created the snippets directory).

Could it be that the mixed forward backward slashes is the problem?

Answer 1

What SnipMate are you talking about? The original or the fork ? The fork doesn't come with default snippets so you are certainly talking about the original, right?

:help snipmate says:

Snippets are by default looked for any 'snippets' directory in your 'runtimepath'.

It's possible (but unlikely) that after is not part of your runtimepath … could you check with :echo &rtp ?

Anyway, you can use the g:snippets_dir variable to tell SnipMate where to look for snippets:

let g:snippets_dir = '~/.vim/after/snippets/'
