This is the probably the most important directive, it's the

abbreviation you type to expand a snippet just before hitting

``yas/trigger-key``.
|
||||
|
||||
If you don't specify this it will default to the name of the file the

snippet is being loaded from, unless YASnippet is ignoring file names
|
||||
as triggers (see ``yas/ignore-filenames-as-triggers`` in `Organizing
|
||||
snippets`_), in which case this snippet
|
||||
will not be expandable through the key mechanism.
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes the key of a snippet is non-ASCII or not valid filename
|
||||
(e.g. contains ``/``). One can then define the ``key`` property which
|
||||
will overwrite the filename as the key to expand the snippet.

**Note**: this feature is still **experimental**, it might go away, be

changed in future release, and should be used with caution: It is easy

to override important keybindings for many basic modes and it is hard

to undefine them. For the moment, the variable

``yas/active-keybindings`` can tell you what snippet keybindings are

active and the function ``yas/kill-snippet-keybindings`` will attempt

The name corresponds to the Emacs mode where you want expansion to

take place. For example, snippets for ``c-mode`` are put in the
|

``c-mode`` sub-directory. You can also skip snippet storage altogether

The ``.yas.parents`` file
|

-------------------------
|

|

Here is an excerpt of a directory hierarchy containing snippets
|
||||
for some modes:
|
||||
|
||||
.. sourcecode:: text
|
||||
|
||||
$ tree
|
||||
.
|
||||
`-- text-mode
|

|

|
||||
A parent directory acts as a *parent table* of any of its
|
||||
sub-directories. This is one of the ways different Emacs major modes
|
||||
can share snippet definitions. As you can see above, ``c-mode`` and
|
||||
``java-mode`` share the same parent ``cc-mode`` and its ``while``
|
||||
snipepts, while all modes are share the ``time`` snippet from
|
||||
``text-mode``.
|
||||
|
||||
This can be also used to as an *alias* -- ``cperl-mode`` is an empty
|
||||
directory whose parent is ``perl-mode``.

The ``.yas-parents`` file
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
An alternate (and preferred) way of setting up parent tables consists
|
||||
of placing a plain text file ``.yas-parents`` inside one of the
|
||||
sub-directories. By doing this, you avoid complex directory
|
||||
nesting. In the ``.yas-parents`` file you just write
|
||||
whitespace-separated names of modes. This allows more flexibility and
|
||||
readability of your snippet hierarchy.
|
||||
It's very useful to have certain modes share snippets between
|
||||
themselves. To do this, choose a mode subdirectory and place a
|
||||
``.yas-parents`` containing a whitespace-separated list of other
|
||||
mode names. When you reload those modes become parents of the
|
||||
original mode.

Using plain file names
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Normally, file names act as the snippet expansion *abbreviation* (also
|
||||
known as the *snippet key* or *snippet trigger*, see `Expanding
|
||||
Snippets`_).
|
||||
|
||||
However, if you customize the variable
|
||||
``yas/ignore-filenames-as-triggers`` to be true *or* place an empty
|
||||
file ``.yas-ignore-filename-triggers`` you can use much more
|
||||
descriptive file names. This is useful if many snippets within a mode
|
||||
share the same trigger key.
