Common Customization

Use Yasnippet with Hippie Expand

If you use Hippie Expand, you can add Yasnippet to the list of expansion functions. For example if you want to try expanding snippets first:

(setq hippie-expand-try-functions-list (cons 'yas/hippie-try-expand hippie-expand-try-functions-list))

You could do this globally, or for a specific mode using a mode hook.
