## Snippets

Snippets have a few extra things to note:

* Snippet Leader: `<shortcut><tab>` (e.g. `class<tab>`)
* List Snippets: `<ctrl-l>`
* Forward Through Snippet: `<ctrl-j>`
* Backward Through Snippet: `<ctrl-k>`

You run the snippet completion while in insert mode.

A simple example: Type `#!<tab>` automatically inserts `#!/usr/bin/env python`

A more in depth example:

    1. `class<tab>`
    2. Start typing to provide name of class (already selected)
    3. `<ctrl-j>` to move to the parent class (`class MyObject(<parent-object>):`)
    4. `<ctrl-j>` to move to docstring
    5. `<ctrl-j>` to move to inputs of the `__init__` function (typing a new input name automatically adds `self._varname = varname`)


### Adding/Editing Custom Snippets

You can edit the snippets for the current filetype that's open by using `:UltiSnipsEdit`

After making any changes to the snippets, run `:call UltiSnips#RefreshSnippets()` to refresh the snippets

**Important Note**: If using chezmoi, make sure to copy the snippet to the chezmoi repo so it isn't overwritten during next `chezmoi apply`
