Tab does not work that well, because some words I have written are similar to the snippets and autocomplete gets in the way. Lets say I have a keyword ‘func’ and somewhere i got a file opened with a ‘functions’ when I type “func” and press tab instead of the func-snippet I got the autocompleted ‘function’.
(so I use arrow-keys and RETURN instead of tab to autocomplete/snippets most of the time…)
So how about a config dialog/file to change the behavior?
If you give me a hint I might be able to hack something for myself, i have already taken a short look into the snippet-plugin code, but I do not have that much time to get deep enough into the code and find the right place where to modify the code.

We tried at first to have snippets being auto completed, but found that this wasn’t a great user experience. Note that snippets are most commonly used with tab triggers, which means that you type a keyword for a specific snippet (see the manager) and press tab to activate the corresponding snippet.

I love the gedit snippet plugin! Great Job!

But I think it is a bit annoying to press CTRL+TAB every time I want to
use a snippet.
Is it possible to modify the snippet plugin so that it behaves similar
to the gedit autocomplete plugin (I type the first 2 or 3 letters and
the plugin checks if there is a snippet available and maybe show the
dialog that would appear if i would press ctrl+space).

Hope to hear from you,

Andreas

P.S.: I tried to send you a mail but it seems your site icecrew.nl is offline?!

A couple of things about the blog: the gitg screenshots have disappeared, and the gedit category is missing some entries.

thanks

ik kan je e-mailadres niet vinden.. dus dan maar even zo… Volgens mij is het tijd voor facebook.
