new snippets hint

If you want to have more hints while creating new snippets, create new Plugin with following code:

NewSnippetCommand.py

import sublime, sublime_plugin
import os

class NewSnippetCommand(sublime_plugin.WindowCommand):
    def run(self):
        v = self.window.new_file()
        v.settings().set('default_dir',
            os.path.join(sublime.packages_path(), 'User'))
        v.settings().set('default_extension', 'sublime-snippet')
        v.set_syntax_file('Packages/XML/XML.tmLanguage')

        template = """<snippet>
	<content><![CDATA[
${1:Hello, \${1:some default text\} in a \${2:snippet\}.\$3}
]]></content>
	<!-- just cursor positions \$1 and \$2 -->
	<!-- \${1:some default text} -->
	<!-- \${1:\$SELECTION} -->
	<!-- \${1/(.*)/\u\$1/} -->
	<!-- \${1/'/\\\\\\'/g} -->

	<!-- max="\${2:50}", maxMessage="\${1:$SELECTION} is too long. It should have {{ \${2:\$2} }}... -->
	<!-- Optional: Set a tabTrigger to define how to trigger the snippet -->
	<!-- <tabTrigger>hello</tabTrigger> -->
	<!-- Optional: Set a scope to limit where the snippet will trigger -->
