what is the most built in way to do snippets?

I've only seen people use yasnippet, if anything at all. I don't think there is any built-in way besides making your own ad-hoc functions that invoke save-excursion.

I like tempel personally

It is inspired by a builtin, tempo

Mildly interesting trivia, τεμπέλης (tempel ish) means "lazy person" in modern greek (the word probably has turkish origins? not sure), which -unintentionally- kinda describes the purpose of snippet templates, you're too lazy to type it all yourself 😄

There are many builtin ways, some quite ancient

mpenet16:11:39
