# Snippet Studio
This VS Code extension streamlines creation and management of [VS Code snippets](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets).
[](https://github.com/alexanderdombroski/snippetstudio) [](https://badge.fury.io/gh/alexanderdombroski%2Fsnippetstudio)
Available on [VS Code Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/AlexDombroski.snippetstudio), [Open VSX Registry](https://open-vsx.org/extension/AlexDombroski/snippetstudio), or [Github Releases](https://github.com/alexanderdombroski/snippetstudio/releases).
Read [installation and getting started](https://alexanderdombroski.github.io/snippetstudio/docs/getting-started/installation) for more info
## Features
### Managing Snippets
The **Snippets** view updates to include all snippets of the active editor's language.
See how to [manage snippets](https://alexanderdombroski.github.io/snippetstudio/docs/snippet-management/snippet-crud) in depth.
### Managing Snippet Files
The **Locations Manager** view lists snippet files found on your filesystem.
See how to [create global and project snippet files](https://alexanderdombroski.github.io/snippetstudio/docs/snippet-management/global-vs-local).
### Creating Snippets
The **Snippet Editor** view only appears when creating or editing snippets.
### Tooling for Insertion Features
Use insertion features such as [placeholders, tabstops, variables, etc](https://alexanderdombroski.github.io/snippetstudio/docs/snippet-management/snippet-insertion-features) to make your snippets more powerful.
### Exporting Snippets
Share snippets easily by selecting which snippets you need and [transferring](https://alexanderdombroski.github.io/snippetstudio/docs/snippet-management/export-snippets) them to a single `.code-snippets` file.
### Backup & Sharing Snippets
Import and export snippets using [GitHub gists](https://alexanderdombroski.github.io/snippetstudio/docs/github-integration/gists)
VS Code already has [powerful syncing](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/configure/settings-sync) that provides a way to backup your snippets.
### Snippet Keybindings
Command to easily add [attach a keybinding](https://alexanderdombroski.github.io/snippetstudio/docs/snippet-management/keybinding-snippets) to a snippet. These are bound to the target languages by default.
### Profile Support
Snippets added to the active profile, or choose files to [sync across all profiles](https://alexanderdombroski.github.io/snippetstudio/docs/snippet-management/profile-snippets).
Import snippets from your friend's [profile backups](https://alexanderdombroski.github.io/snippetstudio/docs/snippet-management/backup-and-restore-snippets) or profile templates.
### Extension Snippets
Copy snippets from [snippet extension packs](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editing/userdefinedsnippets#_install-snippets-from-the-marketplace) you download and [modify](https://alexanderdombroski.github.io/snippetstudio/docs/snippet-management/extension-snippets) them to be more helpful
### Shell Snippets
Save terminal commands commonly ran in the terminal across workspaces or globally. Hit the run button to automatically create a terminal and run it.
