: What is the snippet shortname? For template the shortname is usually tpl and filenames can be written as tpl-projects. What is the best shortname for snippet? sni snp spt Anything else? I need

@Goswami781

Why are we stuck in a way of thinking that file extensions must be 3 characters? This is a throwback to the days of DOS - who can remember that :o) - that had a 3 character limitation.

Wouldn't it be much easier for users if your file was named dosomething.snippet rather than dosomething.spt?

There is no limitation apart from a total length of 255 characters, be creative.

On the web there are many cases where spt is used so I guess that would be the most correct shortname for it.

An example:
github.com/vim-scripts/snippet.vim/blob/master/doc/snippet.txt
Search for spt in the text.
