Creating Non-English Snippets in Visual Studio Code: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you a coder who wants to incorporate non-English snippets into your development environment? Perhaps you’re looking to use Korean prefixes in your snippets while working in Visual Studio Code (VSCode). If so, you might have encountered some challenges in getting it to work, especially when trying to activate those snippets. In this post, we will walk you through the process of creating non-English snippets and provide tips on how to activate them successfully.

Understanding Snippets in Visual Studio Code

Before diving into the specifics of Korean language snippets, let’s clarify what snippets are.

Snippets: Snippets are predefined pieces of code or text that can be easily inserted into your files. They help to streamline your coding process and minimize repetitive tasks.

In VSCode, snippets can be customized for different languages, and they can include any text or commands you frequently use.

Creating Non-English Snippets

To create a non-English snippet, you need to modify your latex.json file. Let’s break this down step by step:

Open your latex.json file:

You can find this file by navigating to the command palette (Ctrl + Shift + P on Windows or Cmd + Shift + P on Mac), then typing "Preferences: Configure User Snippets".

Add your non-English snippet:

Here’s an example JSON format for Korean snippets, which you should insert into your latex.json file:

In this example, LaTeX is set with a Korean prefix 라텍 while another snippet LaTeX2 retains its English prefix.

Activating Your Non-English Snippets

You may notice that the Korean snippet, LaTeX, doesn’t activate as effortlessly as the English one. Here’s how to ensure you can access your non-English snippets:

Triggering Suggestions:

To make VSCode recognize your non-ASCII prefixes, you need to manually trigger the suggestions. You can do this through several methods depending on your OS:

Windows: Press Ctrl + Space

Mac: Press Ctrl + I or Alt + Escape

When you input several characters, it should prompt you with the snippet options, including your non-English prefixes.

Conclusion

Creating non-English snippets in Visual Studio Code isn’t just a possibility; it’s a practical way to enhance your coding workflow. With just a few simple steps and an understanding of how to activate your snippets, you can easily incorporate any language into your snippets.

Now that you're equipped with the necessary knowledge, give it a try! Happy coding!
