I'm writing my own custom auto completion for Sublime Text 2 for Kirby CMS. The syntax is the following: $page->title(), for example. Now, just a plain completion would be like this (this is already working):
{ "trigger": "page->title()", "contents": "page->title()" },
My problem is, that Sublime Text doesn't recognize the > – everything works fine, till I type the > character, the auto-completion just stops there (the auto-complete-tooltip is hidden). I'm not an expert at all, and only tried the basic escaping stuff I now (just like you would escape the $ symbol: \\$var and page-\\>title()), but all I get is page-\>.... One backslash leads to an error.
Now my question: is it possible to escape the > in a way that I can type page-> and get the corresponding suggestions, or do I have to do something else? Or is it not possible at all?
Thanks for you answer!

If I type one letter of the trigger/prefix, the snippet suggestion works to show the built-in snippets from extensions. But, once I type the next letter in the trigger/prefix...the built-in snippet from the extension is gone. Meaning, it is no longer found anywhere in the dropdown list (you won't find it by scrolling). .
Here is a snapshot confirming that the trigger/prefix is removed from the list
I found that with some built-in snippets from extensions, if I type out the entire word, it will reappear. For example, if I want: 'trycatch', it will be populated in the list when I type 't', disappear when I have typed 'tr', but then reappear when the entire trigger/prefix is typed.
How can i get a built-in snippet from an extension to show in snippet search when 2 or more letters of the trigger/prefix are typed? I am using version 1.75.0
I tried looking at the docs of VSCode, but it's too simple to help. I tried looking at my settings (keyword: snippets) and play around with any possibilities, but nothing seemed to fix it. Any google search comes up empty as well.
I'm a fan of sub-word captures, but I'm used to the sublime way where if you have a word with underscores, it will exclude the underscore from the capture like this:
In VScode, I setup my keyboard shortcuts to use the cursorWordPartLeftSelect and cursorWordPartRightSelect, but they include the underscore like this:
Here are the lines from my config:
Is there a way to change that?
Add the underscore character to the Editor: Word Separators list in the settings (just search for separators).
~!##$%^&*()-=+[{]}\|;:'",.<>/?_ // with the underscore added at the end
I am a little surprised it isn't already there but it isn't. Then your WordPart selectors won't include the underscores.
It looks like v1.44 adds a fix to this so that the cursorwordpartleft/right acts like Sublime Text with respect to underscores. See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/93239.
I'm experimenting with this extension, and removing underscores and hyphens from VS Code's word separators:

Haven't had the time to dig into it and configure it to match Sublime Text yet but I'm praying this will be a part of the puzzle in getting VS Code to work like Sublime Text did!
I want to use the Search and Replace dialogue in Rubymine, or something similar to replace something like "Scenario:" with "#Desktop\nScenario"
I'm trying to replace every instance of Scenario: in a large Cucumber test suite with
#desktop
Scenario:
Any best ways to do this?
Update:
Thanks to #ryan2johnson9 comment, I realise there's now an easier option (tested on 2017.3).
By clicking on the "New Line" (or using the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Enter / Alt+Enter), the input becomes multilines.
Original Answer
In the search and replace box, if you tick the "Regex" option you can do:
Search: "Scenario:"
Replace by: "#desktop\nScenario:"
The only trick is to tick the "Regex" option :)
Rubymine has macros (http://www.jetbrains.com/ruby/webhelp/binding-macros-with-keyboard-shortcuts.html) but I dont think they are powerful enough for this example.
It's possible that you could solve it with some elaborate feature hidden inside Rubymine, but I think it would be a lot easier to do this with a tool like perl/sed from the Terminal. If you are using Windows I assume you could search the net and find a text search/replace tool that fits your need.
In OSX I there are a bunch of Text Substitutions app too.
I would go that route since Rubymines macro tool isnt up to the task.
Here's a cheap and sleazy alternative:
Copy a newline character from between two empty lines in the file being edited. Temporarily add two empty lines if you don't have any.
Set up search/replace and enter the string you want to replace into the search text input box.
Paste the newline you just copied into the replacement text box plus whatever other text you want. You will be able to see the height of the replacement text input box grow vertically by one line due to the newline.
Perform the search/replace.
For this, the use of the Rubymine regex is optional.
We use confluence for documentaion but i find very time consuming to select the code macro; it's a 5 step process. Even typing the macro by hand is not efficient.
In the Stack Overflow editor all we have to do is select the text and press a button or hit ctrlK, and the text is formatted as code.
Is there a way to do this in Confluence?
even typing by hand is also not efficient
I use the code macro extensively and always use the autocomplete feature by typing { and choosing 'Code Macro' from the list (It's enough to type co for the code macro).
This is a very efficient.
Of course a keyboard shortcut would be faster, but there is no shortcut for the code macro. (AFAIK there is no keyboard shortcut for a specific macro at all)
I use Ctrl-Shift-D then wrap the text in {code}.
This also fixes the problem with formatting being stripped from pasted text.
In Confluence 5.x if you edit a page, you can type {cod<enter} and it puts a Code Block box on the page, but when code is pasted into this box it can strip out end of line characters.
Open the Insert Markup window using Ctrl-Shift-D
Paste in your code as plain text This way the formatting is not stripped out.
Add {code} tags.
You can also type three back ticks ``` to create a code block as you would in vanilla Markdown. This creates an empty code block very quickly. I never have with problems with formatting when pasting code in this way.
The one irritating feature of this method is that you can't specify the language as you do in Markdown, you have to select the language from a list.
I just switched from Textmate 2 to Sublime Text 2. I figured that typing single quotes or brackets would automatically generate a second quote or bracket with the cursor in between ("auto-pairing" is what they call it, Textmate2 does this by default) but this isn't happening.
I see that in the preferences->settings-Default there is some JSON configuration that would seem to be doing what I need but this is not the case. I haven't changed any of this default configuration.
Could someone help me add to my preferences->settings-User the configuration I need to enable auto-pairing for all the common tags, i.e., "'{[(?
Right now I'm working on a client's laptop and running Sublime Text 2 portable version from my flash drive. No additional packages installed, default settings. Everything works as expected:
When I type a single or double quote, brackets, square or curly brackets it adds a closing one and puts cursor in the middle.
When I select smth and press any of mentioned above keys it surrounds selection with pair of appropriate quotes or brackets.
Check your Settings>Default, look for this:
// Controls auto pairing of quotes, brackets etc
"auto_match_enabled": true,
It's near line 89 or so.
Not a direct answer to your question..but I have installed a few plugins in ST2 and auto-pairing works fine.
I am not sure which plugin is responsible for it. Let me know if you would like me to share the list of plugins.
