I'm abandoning this project in favour of https://github.com/occivink/kakoune-snippets. It has all the features that this plugin has and in my opinion handles things in a more kakounesque and clean way. For the updated emmet support for the new plugin see kakoune-emmet
Snippets for kakoune
A combination of emmet-cli with snippets. This works with any text that contains snippet holes, so in the future it can be used with snippets returned from a language server.
\$\d+|\$\{\d+(:[^\}]+)?\} is used as the regex for the holes so it fits holes like $0, ${1} or ${1:test}. This can be adapted in the rc/snippets.kak file
- Python3
- Python3 yaml bindings
Make kakoune source rc/snippets.kak by symlinking it to your autoload directory
Symlink bin/snippet to %val{config}/bin
Install emmet-cli.
Make kakoune source rc/emmet.kak by symlinking it to your autoload directory
Symlink bin/emmet-call to %val{config}/bin
Make sure that the emmet variable in bin/emmet-call points to the correct location of emmet, if necessary adapt it.
Add mappings to your kakrc like the following
To expand the word before the cursor as a snippet defined in snippets.yaml
map global insert <a-E> ' <esc>;h: snippet-word<ret>'
To replace the next snippet hole in the file
map global insert <a-e> '<esc>: replace-next-hole<ret>'
The snippet-word command expands snippets found in %val{config}/snippets.yaml
These snippets follow the following pattern, one snippet per line
{word}: {snippet}
The files in which to look for snippets can be adapted by overwriting %opt{snippet_files}
For emmet support you can add a mapping to overwrite the default mapping for relevant filetypes like html or xml
To snippet the word before the cursor and if it is not a snippet defined in snippets.yaml then expand it using emmet
map global insert <a-E> ' <esc>;h: try snippet-word catch emmet<ret>'
