To make your snippets portable, in addition to automatically backing up your snippets to your Github account, Parrot offers the ability to export your snippets for your IDE (currently, VSCode—or Cursor—and Sublime Text are supported).

To export your IDE’s snippets file, click on your username in the top navigation and then click the “Export IDE Snippets” item in the dropdown. This will reveal the “Export IDE File” modal where you can customize the snippets you’d like to export.

There are three export types:

  • All Snippets (only available for VSCode due to Sublime Text limitations).
  • Specific Language
  • Specific Project

To generate an export file, select the “Export Type” you’d like to use. If you’re choosing either “Specific Language/Framework” or “Specific Project,” select the language/framework you’d like to export snippets for, or the project you’d like to export snippets for.

Next, if an export is available for it, select the IDE you’d like to generate a file for.

For Sublime Text, only “Specific Language” and “Specific Project” export is available. This is due to Sublime Text requiring its completions to be scoped to a specific language.

Once you’ve made your choices, click the “Export File for <IDE>” and Parrot will generate your file and download it to your computer.
