 Having trouble with configuring VSCode snippets

I've become quite fond of the Latex Suite in Obsidian, and have been using that for notes for the past year or so. However, when it comes to writing up my problem sets, not having access to robust latex environments means that Obsidian isn't useful. I can't live without the efficiency I've developed with Latex Suite, but it's super frustrating to have to constantly interrupt my workflow to copy and paste from VSCode to Obsidian. I wondered if there was a way to get the same level of speed, or some way to translate the snippets between the two, but I haven't been able to find anything. I found the hypersnips extension, tried configuring stuff with autohotkey and a bunch of other things, but I haven't found anything in VScode that gives a true autocomplete/instant regex replace. I also wasnt able to get hypersnips to work at all, so I would appreciate guidance on that as well. I would like advice on how I can optimize my setup. I really like to have VSCode, since I do a lot of my work there, but not being able to write Latex efficiently in there is really hurting my productivity.  What ideas do yall have?    submitted by   https://www.reddit.com/user/PlayerPiano42
