SaneSnippets for Sublime Text

SaneSnippets consist of text files with little bit of YAML front matter. They're optimized for human readability, not XML parsers:

---
description: Lorizzle
tabTrigger:  lorizzle
scope:       text.plain
---
Lorizzle sure dolizzle sit amizzle, pot adipiscing shizznit. Nullizzle check
out this velit, fo shizzle volutpizzle, suscipit quizzle, doggy vizzle,
yippiyo. Pellentesque tellivizzle tortizzle. Sizzle erizzle. Mah nizzle

pellentesque nibh et turpizzle. Shiz izzle gizzle. Pellentesque nizzle
rhoncus i saw beyonces tizzles and my pizzle went crizzle. In daahng dawg
habitasse cool boom shackalack. Brizzle dapibizzle. Curabitur nizzle
pimpin', pretizzle da bomb, mattizzle ac, eleifend vitae, nunc. Mofo
suscipizzle. We gonna chung sempizzle go to hizzle phat gizzle.

… because nobody likes hand-coding XML.

To use, add .sane-snippet files to any Sublime Text package. I personally keep them in User/Snippets.

Installation

Using Sublime Package Control

Pick this option. Install via Package Control, using the Package Control: Install Package menu item. Look for SaneSnippets in the package list.

Using Git

Clone SaneSnippets into your Packages directory:

$ cd to packages dir ...
git clone https://github.com/SublimeText/SaneSnippets.git

Download manually

1. Download the latest version
2. Unzip and rename the folder to SaneSnippets
3. Move the folder into your Packages directory.

The Packages directory is located at:

• Linux: ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/
• OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/
• Windows: %APPDATA%/Sublime Text 3/Packages/

You can also find it via Preferences → Browse Packages.

Usage

Create .sane-snippet files anywhere in your Sublime Text Packages directory. SaneSnippets (sane.sublime-snippet) will be regenerated every time you start Sublime Text and their contents have changed. When you save a .sane-snippet file using Sublime Text, it will always be regenerated.

You can manually regenerate all SaneSnippets in the whole packages directory with the SaneSnippets: Regenerate SaneSnippets (force) command from the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+p, Command+Shift+p) or the menu (Tools > Packages > SaneSnippets > Regenerate SaneSnippets (force)). This will be useful when renaming or moving SaneSnippets.

You can also remove all generated snippets files with the SaneSnippets: Remove all compiled snippets command, for example when you intend to uninstall the package. They will be automatically regenerated the next time ST is started.

Note: The YAML front matter parsing is using a naïve regular expression instead of a proper YAML parser. Please keep it simple.
