I'm trying to figure out how to create text inserts in VSCodeVim like:
inoremap <leader>sys <esc>ISystem.out.println(<esc>A);
vnoremap <leader>sys yOSystem.out.println(<esc>pA);
but the only thing I could come up with is some hacky:
"vim.insertModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
{
// Console.WriteLine
"before": ["<leader>", "c", "w", "l"],
"after": ["<Esc>","I","C","o","n","s","o","l","e",".","W","r","i","t","e","L","i","n","e","(","<Esc>","A",")",";"]
}
It does operate nicely. Because there are so many separate keys, the delay creates an animation that is very pleasing XD The problem is writing them. I wrote one for For loops as well and it's not a good experience.
There has to be a better and simpler way of doing this! If I have more than one character inside quotes somewhere, it stops the sequence.
Thanks!
You can do it using the command editor.action.insertSnippet
.
{
"vim.insertModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
{
"before": ["<leader>", "c", "w", "l"],
"commands": [
{
"command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
"args": { "snippet": "Console.WriteLine();" }
}
]
}
]
}
