Is visual placeholder working?

[purpleP]

I do vmap <tab> <Plug>(coc-snippets-expand), and select text visually, and then trigger the snippet. But visual placeholder is empty.

Hi @purpleP, did you get this to work? I am also experiencing the same issue.

Make sure your keymap is expected

[jsrojoo]

This is the mapping I have :

inoremap <silent><expr> <TAB>
      \ pumvisible() ? coc#_select_confirm() :
      \ coc#expandableOrJumpable() ? "\<C-r>=coc#rpc#request('doKeymap', ['snippets-expand-jump',''])\<CR>" :
      \ <SID>check_back_space() ? "\<TAB>" :
      \ coc#refresh()

function! s:check_back_space() abort
  let col = col('.') - 1
  return !col || getline('.')[col - 1]  =~# '\s'
endfunction

let g:coc_snippet_next = '<tab>'

But it does not seem to work. Do I need to add the default mapping as well to make the visual placeholder work?

You keymap is only used for expand & jump while g:coc_snippet_next would have higher priority.
You have to configure and invoke keymap for visual select the text first, please read Readme.

Yes, I've read the readme. Visually selecting then hitting the default <C-j> mapping lets me go to insert mode. Then after hitting tab, the VISUAL text does not get replaced with the text that was visually highlighted before. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

It's not default, you need add it to your vimrc.

[jsrojoo]

``` " Use <C-l> for trigger snippet expand.imap <C-l> <Plug>(coc-snippets-expand) " Use <C-j> for select text for visual placeholder of snippet.vmap <C-j> <Plug>(coc-snippets-select) " Use <C-j> for jump to next placeholder, it's default of coc.nvimlet g:coc_snippet_next = '<c-j>' " Use <C-k> for jump to previous placeholder, it's default of coc.nvimlet g:coc_snippet_prev = '<c-k>' " Use <C-j> for both expand and jump (make expand higher priority.)imap <C-j> <Plug>(coc-snippets-expand-jump) ``` This configuration is added before the tab support mapping config which lets me use <Ctrl-j>. What else do I need to do to make the visual placeholder to work?

Don't know, can't reproduce, you can debug the plugin in chrome https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim/wiki/Debug-coc.nvim
