Version 0.14.2 of package Yasnippet has just been released in GNU ELPA. You can now find it in M-x list-packages RET.
Yasnippet describes itself as: ======================================= Yet another snippet extension for Emacs ======================================= More at https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/yasnippet.html ## Summary: Basic steps to setup: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/path-to-yasnippet") (require 'yasnippet) (yas-global-mode 1) Interesting variables are: `yas-snippet-dirs' The directory where user-created snippets are to be stored. Can also be a list of directories. In that case, when used for bulk (re)loading of snippets (at startup or via `yas-reload-all'), directories appearing earlier in the list override other dir's snippets. Also, the first directory is taken as the default for storing the user's new snippets. The deprecated `yas/root-directory' aliases this variable for backward-compatibility. Major commands are: M-x yas-expand ## Recent NEWS: Yasnippet NEWS -- history of user-visible changes. Copyright (C) 2017-2024 Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the end of the file for license conditions. Changes since 0.14.0: - Bug fixes and code cleanups. - Accept ${N} as another syntax for $N (issue #1012). - Understand the new AUCTeX modes hierarchy (issue #1193). - Try and use `major-mode-remap-alist` to find the right snippets for Tree Sitter modes (issue #1169). * 0.14.0 (Dec 22, 2019) ** Changes *** New 'yas-auto-next' macro, automatically moves to next field. See Github #937. *** Yasnippet now officially requires Emacs 23 or greater. See Github #940. *** Snippets for 'fundamental-mode' are available in all modes. See Github #949, and #936. *** New function for snippets, 'yas-completing-read'. See Github #934. *** New function 'yas-maybe-expand-abbrev-key-filter'. This can be used for making conditional keybindings for snippets. Promoted from 'yas--maybe-expand-key-filter'. See Github #943. *** DEL can now be used to clear fields, similar <delete>. It is bound to the new conditional command 'yas-maybe-clear-field', which may be bound to other keys as well. See Github #960 and #957. *** Snippet field movement commands may now trigger eldoc. See Github #952. *** New variable 'yas-keymap-disable-hook'. Can be used (e.g., for company-mode) to temporarily disable 'yas-keymap' bindings, or any binding made by the new function 'yas-filtered-definition'. See Github #987. *** New variable 'yas-inhibit-overlay-modification-protection'. This allows a snippet to remain active, even if some commands make modifications outside the expected area (i.e., the active snippet field). *** 'yas-minor-mode' is no longer enabled in temp buffers. That is, buffers whose name starts with a space. This setting may be undone by removing 'yas-temp-buffer-p' from 'yas-dont-activate-functions'. See Github #985. *** Accept unescaped '{', for LSP compatibility. See Github #979. ** Fixed bugs *** 'yas-not-string-or-comment-condition' no longer relies on 'this-command'. This lets it work correctly with conditional key-bindings. See Github #973, #991. *** Fix snippet expansion in org src buffers. Note that this still doesn't work in text-mode blocks. See Github #976, #989. *** Fix snippet insertion for keyless snippets. See Github #1014. *** Fix errors with company-mode completion within snippet fields. See Github #995. *** Fix errors with cc-mode. See Github #962. *** Fix problems with lsp-mode. **** Improve performance in overlay heavy buffers (Github #926). **** Fix double call of 'before/after-change-functions' (Github #966). *** Fix errors with nested snippet expansion. See Github #961, #1002. *** Stop yas-field-highlight-face inheriting from bogus 'quote' face. * 0.13.0 (May 13, 2018) ** Changes *** Snippets for Yasnippet must now be installed separately. The submodule linking to yasnippet-snippets was removed, as were the "classic" snippets that came with the GNU ELPA package. The latter can now be installed via the 'yasnippet-classic-snippets' package from GNU ELPA. See Github #848, #858, #834, #775. *** 'snippet-mode' no longer derives from 'text-mode'. It will derive from 'prog-mode' where available (Emacs 24.1 and newer) or 'fundamental-mode' otherwise. See Github #826. *** The default value of 'yas-key-syntaxes' is changed Longer snippet abbrev keys are now preferred over shorter ones. See Github #805. *** New snippets are now created for the current major mode by default Previously, extra activated modes could be guessed first. See Github #875. *** Yasnippet supports 'unload-feature' via 'yasnippet-unload-function' See Github #753, #891. *** New command 'yas-skip-and-clear-field' conditionally bound to 'C-d' replaces obsoleted 'yas-skip-and-clear-or-delete-char'. The new function may be bound to any key via the conditional binding value 'yas-maybe-skip-and-clear-field', instead of hardcoding the 'delete-char' fallback action. See Github #408, #892. ... ...
