Vim skeletons; about as simple as they come.

Skeletor

Vim skeletons; about as simple as they come.

Installation

Preferred Method

Install Vundle and add Bundle 'strange/skeletor-vim' to your .vimrc.

Manual Install

Copy autoload/skeletor.vim and plugin/skeletor.vim into corresponding directories in your vim plugin directory.

Usage

:Skeletor brings up a list of all skeletons available for the filetype of the currently loaded file.

Something like the following in your .vimrc might be nice:

noremap <leader>s :Skeletor<CR>

Skeletons

Skeletons are just regular files (or symlinks) located at a special location. They can have any name and any extension. The name will be used to identify the skeleton in the list displayed by :Skeletor; the extension will be ignored (but is nice to have as you get syntax highlighting etc when you edit skeletons).

Skeletons must be placed in directories matching vim's filetypes. These directories must be placed in the directory skeletons in your runtimetpath.

This is how you'd create a skeleton for a html form, for example:

1. Make sure that the directory skeletons, in your runtimepath, exists.
2. Create the directory html in the skeletons-directory.
3. Write your form to a file called form.html in your html-directory.

So, on a standard unix installation you'd put your code into the file ~/.vim/skeletons/html/form.html.
