Question

I am using the vim-snipmate addon with these snippets.

I am currently in the process of creating a snippet file for Arduino. I realized that all the snippets for the c language also holds good for Arduino.

Instead of just copy pasting them, I am thinking of including the entire c file and then just add Arduino specific parts.

So my question is, is it possible to include snippets from other file into your snippet file?

Answer 1

(I found the answer to this question, after searching the documentation of the snipmate Plugin)

I can’t include a snippet file in another snippet file, but I can include more than one snippet for a certain file type. I have declared the following in my .vimrc now and it works.

" Add c snippets to Arduino
let g:snipMate = {}
let g:snipMate.scope_aliases = {} 
let g:snipMate.scope_aliases['arduino'] = 'arduino,c'

I am using this with the arduino snippets that I created.
