Describe the feature

I did a quick search and did not see such feature request, so pardon if I missed it!

So I see that this can be implemented by extending the LSP language server or at least for RUST as of now, but that would make the user config get out of hand real quick. I was thinking of something a bit more like vscode has a separate user defined snipped .json file for each language like "php.json" and the user would be able do define it there,

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

Here is the vscode "php.json" default file as example..

{
	// Place your snippets for php here. Each snippet is defined under a snippet name and has a prefix, body and 
	// description. The prefix is what is used to trigger the snippet and the body will be expanded and inserted. Possible variables are:
	// $1, $2 for tab stops, $0 for the final cursor position, and ${1:label}, ${2:another} for placeholders. Placeholders with the 
	// same ids are connected.
	// Example:
	// "Print to console": {
	// 	"prefix": "log",
	// 	"body": [
	// 		"console.log('$1');",
	// 		"$2"
	// 	],
	// 	"description": "Log output to console"
	// }
}

Hey @gldtn, I think this issue might cover what you are asking for (I had trouble finding it myself, and I knew it existed):

• Language server agnostic snippets #4611

Going close this out, but feel free to reopen if that other issue doesn't describe the same thing you are wanting.
