UltiSnips

Can't get snippets to respond on tab

Asked by nate stanley

Hi all,

I am trying to use ultisnips as a replacement for snipmate, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I am trying to use Vundle to install ultisnips. Unfortunately, no snippets are completed on <tab>. Here is a look at my .vimrc

When I open a python file, for example, and type "imp<tab>", i get nothing. ??? I apologize if this is a basic question, but the documentation for ultisnips is essentially non-existent. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid. Please enlighten me as to what it is.

cheers,

nate

Let me adress the comment on the documentation first: UltiSnips has the longest documentation of all the twenty or so vim plugins that I have installed. With ~1400 lines it is more than 3 times as long as the documentation of snipMate. Also, UltiSnips has > 30 minutes of introductionary screencasts made by me on youtube - all videos are linked from the readme and the documentation. So, are you really serious about that statement?

otherwise, it seems you install your vundle to late in your .vimrc - especially you should not have any filetype statement before installing it. Likely the ftdetect scripts of UltiSnips are never executed that way. Vundle has also quite a nice documentation and is very explicit about how to properly install it:

Good luck.

Can you help with this problem?
