I have created quite a lot of custom JavaScript snippets in VsCode. Recently, I started working on a project in typescript and, not unexpectedly, the JavaScript snippets do not work in typescript files.
Is there a way to create "shared" snippets that I could use both in JavaScript and typescript? (apart from copying the snippet definition files every time I create a custom snippet)

Reset to default 26You can create global snippets and scope them:
- From command palette
Preferences: Configure User Snippets New Global Snippets File
"console.log": {
"scope": "typescript,javascript,typescriptreact,javascriptreact",
"prefix": "cl",
"body": "console.log($0);",
},
