Working with profile snippets

SnippetStudio has great support for VS Code profiles. When adding a global snippet, it will add it to the active profile.

Multi profile Snippets​

You can right click a snippet file and choose to link it across multiple profiles.

  1. Create snippets file
  2. Right click to "choose profiles to use this snippet"
  3. The snippet file will be moved/copied to the other profiles

Simplify the views to only show the active profile’s snippets​

You can disable scanning for other profiles. Click on the to edit extension settings, then set snippetstudio.view.showProfiles to false.

Use Case: Hide profile snippets when:

  • You want to simplify the snippet and location manager view
  • You want a slight increase in performance. The extension won't scan snippets of other profiles at all, reducing background fileIO operations
