I'm new to Vim and setting up LaTeX with vimtex. Now, I am looking for a Snippet-Manager and decided to give UltiSnips a try. It seems to be very handy. But it doesn't come with a lot snippets (honza/vim-snippets has about 100 snippets).

Now my question: Is there a source providing more snippets (e.g. stuff for mathmode, etc)? Or would somebody be so kind to share his "extended version" of snippets?

Thanks a lot!

    I think it would be more useful to create your own set of snippets: Having more than 100 snippets designed by someone else for someone else's needs is a good way to load your vim with useless stuff. (Also I don't think that the 100 snippets provided by vim-snippets is "not a lot", do you really think you'll use more than that everyday?)

  • Thank you for your answer. I have to agree, that the best solution is to write my own ones.

  • If you have used in the past the vim plugin LaTeX-Suite, you might be familiar withe these snippets github.com/kiryph/vim-snippets/blob/master/UltiSnips/… (46 snippets). A cheatsheet can be found here: michaelgoerz.net/refcards/vimlatexqrc.pdf

Neocomplete is an alternative that may have different snippets and is compatible with the UltiSnips repository.

Other than that if you can't find what you are looking for, you might have to create your own as statox stated.

Like statox said, you should really write you own snippets. But I understand it is nice to have a set to look at, see what others are doing.

One post I thought was really helpful was "How I'm able to take notes in mathematics lectures using LaTeX and Vim"

From there, you can also find his github, with all his snippets. I find it a bit too complex, as he defines "math contexts" and global python functions, stuff I don't understand yet.
