What is nvim-snippy?
Snippy is a lightweight snippet management plugin for Neovim 0.10+ that provides fast, dependency-free snippet expansion and management. It uses Neovim's native extmarks feature for efficient placeholder handling and supports the SnipMate file format, allowing seamless adoption of existing snippet collections. The plugin prioritizes simplicity and performance, avoiding complex configurations and external dependencies.
Neovim users (version 0.10 or higher) who want a minimalist, performant snippet solution without external dependencies, particularly those familiar with or migrating from SnipMate-compatible snippet systems. It's also suitable for developers using Language Server Protocol (LSP) completions who need snippet expansion.
Developers choose Snippy for its dependency-free design, leveraging Neovim's built-in extmarks for clean snippet handling without inserting markers into buffer text. Its full SnipMate compatibility allows easy reuse of extensive existing snippet libraries, offering a straightforward, lightweight alternative to heavier snippet managers like UltiSnips.
