​
" Use <C-j> for jump to next placeholder, it's default of coc.nvim
let g:coc_snippet_next = '<c-j>'
​
" Use <C-k> for jump to previous placeholder, it's default of coc.nvim
let g:coc_snippet_prev = '<c-k>'

mkdir ~/.config/nvim/snips

touch ~/.config/nvim/snips/markdown.snippets # <- doesn't have to be called markdown
