Description

This issue has been moved from Microsoft/vscode-sublime-importer/
Original author is @auchenberg@auchenberg


We should support importing user snippets from Sublime Text. Snippets are scoped to a file glob pattern, which we can convert into our language groups.

A blocker is that Sublime snippets can be global, and we don't support this yet. This work is tracked in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/13182

Research direction

Start by reading the original issue from Microsoft/vscode-sublime-importer and the linked VS Code issue #13182 about global snippets. Determine whether global snippets are now supported and how Sublime snippet file-glob scopes map to VS Code language groups. Done means user snippets can be imported with their scopes handled, including the stated global-snippet blocker.
