UltiSnips

UltiSnips is the ultimate solution for snippets in Vim. It has tons of features and is very fast.

GIF Demo

In this demo I am editing a python file. I first expand the 

#!
snippet, then the 
class
snippet. The completion menu comes from YouCompleteMe, UltiSnips also integrates with neocomplete. I can jump through placeholders and add text while the snippet inserts text in other places automatically: when I add 
Animal
as a base class, 
__init__
gets updated to call the base class constructor. When I add arguments to the constructor, they automatically get assigned to instance variables. I then insert my personal snippet for 
print
debugging. Note that I left insert mode, inserted another snippet and went back to add an additional argument to 
__init__
and the class snippet was still active and added another instance variable.

The official home of UltiSnips is at https://github.com/sirver/ultisnips. Please add pull requests and issues there.

UltiSnips was started in Jun 2009 by @SirVer. In Dec 2015, maintenance was handed over to @seletskiy.

Quick Start

This assumes you are using Vundle. Adapt for your plugin manager of choice. Put this into your 

.vimrc
. 
" Track the engine.
Plugin 'SirVer/ultisnips'


" Snippets are separated from the engine. Add this if you want them:
Plugin 'honza/vim-snippets'


" Trigger configuration. Do not use  if you use https://github.com/Valloric/YouCompleteMe.
let g:UltiSnipsExpandTrigger=""
let g:UltiSnipsJumpForwardTrigger=""
let g:UltiSnipsJumpBackwardTrigger=""


" If you want :UltiSnipsEdit to split your window.
let g:UltiSnipsEditSplit="vertical"

UltiSnips comes with comprehensive documentation. As there are more options and tons of features I suggest you at least skim it.
