Auto-complete issues when snippet starts with $

[agibsonsw]

As an example:

Code: Select all

// Additional situations to trigger auto complete
    "auto_complete_triggers": [ {"selector": "source.coffee,source.js,source.js.embedded.html", "characters": "$"} ],

would allow $ to trigger completions in coffeescript files, etc. I don't believe the dollar-sign needs escaping in this setting.

But you might need to read the docs to learn when characters require escaping (or double-escaping) in completions and snippets. ST2 is quite clever though as it (for me) dis-colours the back-slashes if I have the wrong number of them. [Edited: Actually, it only does this for me in completions files.]

I think I tried almost everything... doesn't work

Thanks for the tips... this *mostly* works.

The completions file has been updated with \\$ ... and I've added the bit to my user prefs.

However, when executing a completion, I end up with, for instance $$resource instead of just $resource.


Any ideas here?
