-This extra for mini.snippets activates the following:
-1. During completion with either cmp or blink, expand lsp snippets
-2. To use other snippets: Press <c-j> in insert mode
-
-Do note that there are no sources yet for `nvim-cmp` or `blink.cmp`. 
-This extra will be updated when those sources become available.
-
-For now, non-lsp snippets(custom or from a plugin aka friendly-snippets) 
-are handled exclusively by mini.snippets(<c-j> in insert mode).
-This approach is also how the author uses the plugin.
-
-In default LazyVim, neither cmp nor blink define the default mappings used by mini.snippets:
-- <c-j> to expand
-- <c-l> to jump next (dynamically created when in snippet context)
-- <c-h> to jump previous (dynamically created when in snippet context)
-
-It's difficult to have jump_next or jump_previous working in all cases when mapped to <tab>/<s-tab>.
-
-For now, the tab key inside a snippet just inserts a tab.
-LazyVim will warn the user when jump_next of jump_previous are overriden.
-
-Currently, mini.snippets is in "beta": See https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/issues/1428
-
-Example override for your own config:
-return {
-  {
-    "echasnovski/mini.snippets",
-    opts = function(_, opts)
-      -- By default, for opts.snippets, the extra for mini.snippets only adds gen_loader.from_lang()
-      -- This provides a sensible quickstart, integrating with friendly-snippets

-TODO: Prevent the user from overriding mini.snippits mappings?
