NeoVim + vim-plug custom snippets issue.

[sittim]

I am using NeoVim with vim-plug. I have the following lines in the ~/.nvimrc file:

Plug 'SirVer/ultisnips'
Plug 'honza/vim-snippets'

UltiSnips work great for the snippets in the vim-snippts directory, but executing :UltiSnipsEdit and adding a snippet produces no result. vim-plug places the UltiSnips plugin into

~/.config/nvim/plugged/ultisnips

and the custom snippet files into:

~/.config/nvim/UltiSnips

so if I edited a c++ file and typed executed UltiSnipsEdit, and added a snipped, it shows up as ~/.config/nvim/UltiSnips/cpp.snippet

But if I take this file and copy it from ~/.config/nvim/UltiSnips/cpp.snippet to ~/.nvim/UltiSnips/cpp.snippet` then the custom snippet works.

Would you have a recommendation on how to have the UltiSnipsEdit command and have the nvim use the same directory for custom snippet file?

By the way, you can view all of mine configurations here:

@sittim: Try to experiment with value of g:UltiSnipsSnippetsDir.

This solution works OK, The following entry:

let g:UltiSnipsSnippetsDir="~/.nvim/UltiSnips"

uses and edits (via UltiSnipsEdit command) the snippets in the ~/.nvim/UltiSnips directory. This is OK, I can now comfortably work with snippets, ideally, it would be nice to keep everything in the same place, that is in the nvim confiration directory, which is at~/.config/nvim/UltiSnips, but the following entry produces no result: let g:UltiSnipsSnippetsDir="~/.config/nvim/UltiSnips"

I had the same problem on nvim 0.2.0-28 mac os ElCapitan and iconically,

`let g:UltiSnipsSnippetsDir="~/.config/nvim/UltiSnips"

Works for me.
