Q:

Ignore default snippet in Sublime Text

I've created my own custom version of the html.sublime-snippet adding in a doctype and some meta tags and saved it in the User directory.
Now, when when I try to trigger my snippet both the default version and my custom version show up as options.
Is there any way to semi-permanently disable the default snippet so only my version is available?

A:

I was bothered by Python's default snippet for @property. I found working solution here. Your would be similar:

In .config/sublime-text-2/Packages copy the HTML folder to (for example) HTML Customized.
Hose/Edit out the snippets that offend you in HTML Customized.
Add HTML to the ignored_packages entry in the preferences to disable the standard HTML snippets.

Without catch!
Someone called marcuso posted this solution on Sublime Text forum. He deserves all glory. (And also Matt York, who mentioned the thread in this comment).
