snippet weird behavior

[greg]

Hello community

I wrote a snippet which trigger is TOTO.

In a file, I write:

TO<tab>
gives me TOTO
TOTO<tab>
replace TOTO by TODO
TODO<tab>
gives me
touch(filename)

If instead I write:
hello TOTO<tab>
the trigger is cleared and only "hello" remains

I'm new to ST2 but I guess it's not the intended behavior.

How do I get my snippet working?

TIA

I found the solution for one of the two problem: dollar signs must be escaped.

I still don't understand the first part...

No one understand this snippet behavior?

Why not actually post your snippet code?

[greg]

Really simple:

Code: Select all

<snippet>
   <content><![CDATA[
Hello, ${1:this} is a ${2:snippet}.
]]></content>
   <!-- Optional: Set a tabTrigger to define how to trigger the snippet -->
   <tabTrigger>TOTO</tabTrigger>
   <!-- Optional: Set a scope to limit where the snippet will trigger -->
   <scope>source.php</scope>
</snippet>
