Character-snippets

A small program that generates a Visual Studio Code snippets file, with either builtin snippets (>1000 Unicode characters) or a custom TOML input file.

```sh

Install with Rust. Alternatively, download a binary from the Releases page.

cargo install character-snippets

Put a snippets file in a good location for Visual Studio Code on Linux. These

snippets will be visible in all workspaces.

character-snippets --builtin > ~/.config/Code/User/snippets/chars.code-snippets

Use a custom snippets file.

character-snippets my-custom-snippets.toml > ~/.config/Code/User/snippets/chars.code-snippets

To find out where the snippets files are located on your operating system, run

"Preferences: Configure User Snippets" and create a new global snippets file.

```

The format of the input file should be as follows:

toml [Snippets] xbrackets = "〚$1〛" xcheckbox = "☐ " xchecked = "☑ " xcheckmark = "✓" xch = "✓"

Visual Studio Code will interpret variables such as $1 as placeholders.

Output will be sent to standard output.
