Description
Type: LanguageService
It would be really useful to be able to tweak the snippets to my liking in a text file. I personally have minor formatting tweaks that I'd like to do like adjusting the position of the first curly bracket after for and having **env in the main function. I'd prefer not to have duplicates in the context menu either.
