Scope
You can define where a snippet is available by setting the "Scope" of a snippet.
To set the scope of a snippet when you create a snippet, fill in the Scope part with the scope you like. For example, if you fill in
Lang:RUBY
to the scope part, the snippet will be available only in Ruby files. Alternatively, you can fill in
Ext:cpp
then the snippet will be available only in files will extension cpp.
The default scope in the editor is GLOBAL, which means the snippet is available everywhere.
For existing snippets, bring up the snippet editor to change the Scope.
Here is a list of acceptable Scope formats.
