This section describes how YASnippet chooses snippets for expansion at point.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Maybe, you'll want some snippets to be expanded in a particular
|
|
mode, or only under certain conditions, or be prompted using
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div id="outline-container-sec-1" class="outline-2">
|
|
<h2 id="sec-1">Triggering expansion</h2>
|
|
<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-1">
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can use YASnippet to expand snippets in different ways:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul class="org-ul">
|
|
<li>When <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-minor-mode"><code>yas-minor-mode</code></a> is active:
|
|
<ul class="org-ul">
|
|
<li>Type the snippet's <b>trigger key</b> then calling <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-expand"><code>yas-expand</code></a>
|
|
(bound to <code>TAB</code> by default).
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Use the snippet's <b>keybinding</b>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>By expanding directly from the "YASnippet" menu in the menu-bar
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Using hippie-expand
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Call <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-insert-snippet"><code>yas-insert-snippet</code></a> (use <code>M-x yas-insert-snippet=</code> or its
|
|
keybinding <code>C-c & C-s</code>).
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Use m2m's excellent auto-complete
|
|
TODO: example for this
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Expanding from emacs-lisp code
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div id="outline-container-sec-1-1" class="outline-3">
|
|
<h3 id="sec-1-1">Trigger key</h3>
|
|
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1-1">
|
|
<p>
|
|
<a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-expand"><code>yas-expand</code></a> tries to expand a <i>snippet abbrev</i> (also known as
|
|
<i>snippet key</i>) before point.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-minor-mode"><code>yas-minor-mode</code></a> is enabled, it binds <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-expand"><code>yas-expand</code></a> to <code>TAB</code> and
|
|
<code><tab></code> by default, however, you can freely set it to some other key:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="org-src-container">
|
|
|
|
<pre class="src src-emacs-lisp">(define-key yas-minor-mode-map (kbd <span class="org-string">"<tab>"</span>) nil)
|
|
(define-key yas-minor-mode-map (kbd <span class="org-string">"TAB"</span>) nil)
|
|
(define-key yas-minor-mode-map (kbd <span class="org-string">"<the new key>"</span>) 'yas-expand)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To enable the YASnippet minor mode in all buffers globally use the
|
|
command <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-global-mode"><code>yas-global-mode</code></a>. This will enable a modeline indicator,
|
|
<code>yas</code>:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div class="figure">
|
|
<p><img src="./images/minor-mode-indicator.png" alt="minor-mode-indicator.png" />
|
|
</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When you use <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-global-mode"><code>yas-global-mode</code></a> you can also selectively disable
|
|
YASnippet in some buffers by setting the buffer-local variable
|
|
<a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-dont-active"><code>yas-dont-active</code></a> in the buffer's mode hook.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div id="outline-container-sec-1-1-1" class="outline-4">
|
|
<h4 id="sec-1-1-1">Fallback behaviour</h4>
|
|
<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-1-1-1">
|
|
<p>
|
|
<a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-fallback-behaviour"><code>yas-fallback-behaviour</code></a> is a customization variable bound to
|
|
'<code>call-other-command</code> by default. If <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-expand"><code>yas-expand</code></a> failed to find any
|
|
suitable snippet to expand, it will disable the minor mode temporarily
|
|
and find if there's any other command bound to the same key.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If found, the command will be called. Usually this works very well
|
|
–when there's a snippet, expand it, otherwise, call whatever command
|
|
originally bind to the trigger key.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
However, you can change this behavior by customizing the
|
|
<a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-fallback-behavior"><code>yas-fallback-behavior</code></a> variable. If you set this variable to
|
|
'<code>return-nil</code>, it will return <code>nil</code> instead of trying to call the
|
|
<i>original</i> command when no snippet is found.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div id="outline-container-sec-1-2" class="outline-3">

|
<h3 id="sec-1-2">Insert at point</h3>
|
|
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1-2">
|
|
<p>
|
|
The command <i><code>yas-insert-snippet</code></i> lets you insert snippets at point
|
|
<i>for your current major mode</i>. It prompts you for the snippet key
|
|
first, and then for a snippet template if more than one template
|
|
exists for the same key.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The list presented contains the snippets that can be inserted at point,
|
|
according to the condition system. If you want to see all applicable
|
|
snippets for the major mode, prefix this command with <code>C-u</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The prompting methods used are again controlled by
|
|
<a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-prompt-functions"><code>yas-prompt-functions</code></a>.

|
|
<div class="outline-text-4" id="text-1-2-1">
|
|
<p>
|
|
It's often useful to inject already written text in the middle of a
|
|
snippet. The variable <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-wrap-around-region"><code>yas-wrap-around-region</code></a> when to t substitute
|
|
the region contents into the <code>$0</code> placeholder of a snippet expanded by
|
|
<i><code>yas-insert-snippet</code></i>. Setting it to a character value (e.g. <code>?0</code>)
|
|
will insert the contents of corresponding register.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Older (versions 0.9.1 and below) of Yasnippet, supported a setting of
|
|
<code>cua</code> that is equivalent to <code>?0</code> but only worked with <code>cua-mode</code>
|
|
turned on. This setting is still supported for backwards
|
|
compatibility, but is now entirely equivalent to <code>?0</code>.

Sometimes you might want to expand a snippet directly from your own
|
|
elisp code. You should call <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-expand-snippet"><code>yas-expand-snippet</code></a> instead of
|
|
<a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-expand"><code>yas-expand</code></a> in this case. <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-expand-snippet"><code>yas-expand-snippet</code></a> takes a string in
|
|
snippet template syntax, if you want to expand an existing snippet you
|
|
can use <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-lookup-snippet"><code>yas-lookup-snippet</code></a> to find its contents by name.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
As with expanding from the menubar, the condition system and multiple
|
|
candidates doesn't affect expansion (the condition system does affect
|
|
<a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-lookup-snippet"><code>yas-lookup-snippet</code></a> though). In fact, expanding from the YASnippet
|
|
menu has the same effect of evaluating the follow code:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="org-src-container">
|
|
|
|
<pre class="src src-emacs-lisp">(yas-expand-snippet template)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
See the internal documentation on <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-expand-snippet"><code>yas-expand-snippet</code></a> and
|
|
<a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-lookup-snippet"><code>yas-lookup-snippet</code></a> for more information.

YASnippet does quite a bit of filtering to find out which snippets are

|
eligible for expanding at the current cursor position.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
In particular, the following things matter:

|

<ul class="org-ul">
|

<li>Currently loaded snippets tables

<a href="./snippet-organization.html">Organizing Snippets</a>. They are named

after major modes like <code>html-mode</code>, <code>ruby-mode</code>, etc…

If the currrent major mode matches one of the loaded snippet tables,
|
|
then all that table's snippets are considered for expansion. Use
|
|
<code>M-x describe-variable RET major-mode RET</code> to find out which major
|
|
mode you are in currently.

|
<li>Parent tables
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Snippet tables defined as the parent of some other eligible table are
|
|
also considered. This works recursively, i.e. parents of parents of
|
|
eligible tables are also considered.

Use <i><code>yas-activate-extra-mode</code></i> to
|
|
consider snippet tables whose name does not correspond to a major
|
|
mode. Typically, you call this from a minor mode hook, for example:
|
|
</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<div class="org-src-container">

|

<span class="org-comment-delimiter">;; </span><span class="org-comment">snippet table "rails-mode"</span>
|
|
(add-hook 'rinari-minor-mode-hook

variable
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This variable provides finer grained control over what snippets can
|
|
be expanded in the current buffer. The default value won't let you
|
|
expand snippets inside comments or string literals for example. See
|

The condition system\_ for more info.

Consider this scenario: you are an old Emacs hacker. You like the
|
|
abbrev-way and bind <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-expand"><code>yas-expand</code></a> to <code>SPC</code>. However, you don't want
|
|
<code>if</code> to be expanded as a snippet when you are typing in a comment
|
|
block or a string (e.g. in <code>python-mode</code>).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you use the <code># condition :</code> directive (see
|
|
<a href="./snippet-development.html">Writing Snippets</a>) you could just specify
|
|
the condition for <code>if</code> to be <code>(not (python-in-string/comment))</code>. But how
|
|
about <code>while</code>, <code>for</code>, etc. ? Writing the same condition for all the
|
|
snippets is just boring. So has a buffer local variable
|
|
<a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-buffer-local-condition"><code>yas-buffer-local-condition</code></a>. You can set this variable to
|
|
<code>(not (python-in-string/comment))</code> in <code>python-mode-hook</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Then, what if you really want some particular snippet to expand even
|
|
inside a comment? Set <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-buffer-local-condition"><code>yas-buffer-local-condition</code></a> like this
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="org-src-container">
|
|
|
|
<pre class="src src-emacs-lisp">(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
|
|
(<span class="org-keyword">lambda</span> ()
|
|
(setq yas-buffer-local-condition
|
|
'(<span class="org-keyword">if</span> (python-in-string/comment)
|
|
'(require-snippet-condition . force-in-comment)
|
|
t))))
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
… and specify the condition for a snippet that you're going to expand
|
|
in comment to be evaluated to the symbol <code>force-in-comment</code>. Then it can
|
|
be expanded as you expected, while other snippets like <code>if</code> still can't
|
|
expanded in comment.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For the full set of possible conditions, see the documentation for
|
|

When there are multiple candidates, YASnippet will let you select one.
|
|
The UI for selecting multiple candidate can be customized through
|
|
<a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-prompt-functions"><code>yas-prompt-functions</code></a> , which defines your preferred methods of being
|
|
prompted for snippets.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can customize it with
|
|
<code>M-x customize-variable RET yas-prompt-functions RET</code>. Alternatively you
|
|
can put in your emacs-file:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="org-src-container">
|
|
|
|
<pre class="src src-emacs-lisp">(setq yas-prompt-functions '(yas-x-prompt yas-dropdown-prompt))
|
|
</pre>
|

</div>
|
|

Currently there are some alternatives solution with YASnippet.

The function <a href="snippet-reference.html#yas-x-prompt"><code>yas-x-prompt</code></a> can be used to show a popup menu for you to
