Examples of anonymous snippets?

The problem here is not the Anyonmity of the snippet, but that ^^ is not a word (as defined by vims in-word characters for latex). To match this as a snippet, you need to use a regular expression trigger:

snippet "\^\^" "Hello" r
Hello world
endsnippet

Or for your example:

inoremap <silent> ^^ ^^<C-R>=UltiSnips_Anon('^{$1}', '\^\^', "name of snippet", "r")<cr>

Note that this does not quite work on my setup, because ^ expects a second character to be entered to make for example â ô û. This confuses Vim and/or UltiSnips so your snippet does just not quite work. It might work under Linux/Win though.

Thank you Sirver, that works.

I have a related question. The reason I want to use these snippets instead of just defining the imaps directly
is that if I use the snippets I can use <c-j> to jump out of the snippets.

The current snippets I have are:

inoremap <silent> $$ $$<C-R>=UltiSnips_Anon('$$1$$0', '$$')<cr>
inoremap <silent> ^^ ^^<C-R>=UltiSnips_Anon('^{$1}$0', '\^\^', 'hat', "r")<cr> inoremap <silent> __ __<C-R>=UltiSnips_Anon('_{$1}$0', '__', 'unders', "w")<cr>

If I use any of these by them selves it works fine, so I type $$ I get the cursor inside the $$ and I can type text and hit <c-j> to jump outside, but if inside the $$ I use one of the other snippets say __ and then hit <c-j> it will jump outside the inner snippet but then hitting <c-j> again will not move the cursor.

This does not happen for the regular snippets, do you know if there is a way of making it work for these kind of snippets?

Thanks!

Unfortunately no. I have the same problem with my own Latex snippets. I am not sure how/why Vim handles the noremap keys differently internally than the typed keys. However, I was unable to track this problem down to its root. If you find the reason for this strange behavior, be sure to let me know.

Hi,

I tried asking this on the vim_use list but one one has a clue up to this point:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/vim_use/rG8L9eJ_eXU

Also I would like to know there exists or it is possible to set a variable with with an int depending on the sucess of the function UltiSnips_ExpandSnippetOrJump, say g:ultisnip_expand_or_jump_res

with the following:
did nothing -> 0
expanded -> 1
jumped -> 2

this would allow to write a mapping (or a function) that depending on the success of this function would do something else.

Thanks.

Cool, thanks for caring!

Unfortunately not currently. Such a thing would be easy to implement
in UltiSnips/__init_.py though. Patches are welcome!

I tried creating a patch to add these global variables that contain
the status of the called function. Please include it if it makes sense
or let me know if there is something I can do
to improve it.

Best
Jorge

I just merged your patch. Excellent work, thank you!

Thanks for merging. I cannot pull the patch from bzr yet, but it seems
to be in github...
Is it better to use github from now on?

No, both are equal. I only prefer the git work flow that is why it lands on github first currently. The branches are synced every 4 hours, so it should be in bzr by now as well.
