Vim UltiSnips - 2 File Types for 1 Snippet File

Question

Can I map two file types to one snippet file?

For example, I would like both .html and .ctp files to use the hmtl.snippets file.

If not, would a sym link from the operating system do the trick?

Or can I create a global snippet file for all file types?

Thanks!

What romainl said. Additionally, you could create a ctp.snippets file and put an extends html command in it. All of this is well documented in UltiSnips' vimhelp.

A very useful feature. I will certainly extend html. – Bryan Oct 11 '13 at 21:32

You can (at the very least):

use a symlink
duplicate html.snippets and rename it to ctp.snippets
add your general snippets to _.snippets
add autocmd BufEnter,BufNew *.ctp setf ctp.html to your ~/.vimrc
