I see the following line in the preferences:
"auto_complete_selector": "source - comment"That means “scope = source, but not comment”. If I try to put this same thing in the <scope></scope> of a snippet, it doesn’t work. Does anyone know how to restrict a snippet this same way?
@cwolves: did you found an answer and solution? Or more “advanced scoping for snippets” docs or hints, if any?
some docs I am grokking now, trying to find an answer:
https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/scope_naming.html
https://macromates.com/manual/en/scope_selectors
hm. This worked for me:
<scope>source.shell.bash - string</scope>
excludes strings well, and I see precence of “string.*” in scopes
(checking current scope with Ctrl+Shift+P (macOS) )
but this isn’t:
<scope>source.shell.bash - meta</scope>
this doesn’t excludes any meta even it’s present in the scope. Hm.
meta is special and needs at least another sub scope to be treated. This is because modern syntaxes scope everything meta.something. Thus a selector such as - meta would exclude everything.
