I create a lot of snippets for Sublime Text 2. I always use the optional tab trigger and never use the trigger scope. I'd like to edit the 'New Snippet' template so I don't have to uncomment and delete these respective options every time.
TL;DR - Where does this default 'New Snippet' text come from so I can change it:
<snippet>
<content><![CDATA[
Hello, ${1:this} is a ${2:snippet}.
]]></content>
<!-- Optional: Set a tabTrigger to define how to trigger the snippet -->
<!-- <tabTrigger>hello</tabTrigger> -->
<!-- Optional: Set a scope to limit where the snippet will trigger -->
<!-- <scope>source.python</scope> -->
</snippet>
The new snippet command is defined in Packages/Default/new_templates.py. Edit it there. (I found it by opening Packages in sublime and searching for one of it's lines.
class NewSnippetCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
def run(self):
v = self.window.new_file()
v.settings().set('default_dir',
os.path.join(sublime.packages_path(), 'User'))
v.settings().set('default_extension', 'sublime-snippet')
v.set_syntax_file('Packages/XML/XML.tmLanguage')
template = """<snippet>
<content><![CDATA[
Hello, \${1:this} is a \${2:snippet}.
]]></content>
<!-- Optional: Set a tabTrigger to define how to trigger the snippet -->
<!-- <tabTrigger>hello</tabTrigger> -->
<!-- Optional: Set a scope to limit where the snippet will trigger -->
<!-- <scope>source.python</scope> -->
</snippet>
