Snippet - how to trigger by tree slashes (///)?

[ldm_home]

Hi All,

How can I trigger a snippet by three slashes (///)?

I’ve tried the following combinations, no one of them work:

<tabTrigger>///</tabTrigger>
<tabTrigger>\/\/\/</tabTrigger>

Thank you!

I vaugely remember there is an issue with special chars in trigger but I can’t find discussion about that at this moment. ST 4 seems to works fine with your example (while ST 3211 does’t).

[ldm_home]

When should the ST4 be ready?

[jfcherng]

god knows. it’s ready when it’s ready

[ldm_home]

as soon as better …

I believe @jfcherng was thinking about this issue:

Issue: on_query_completions fails to return custom completions when some characters are used

There have been improvements to allow special characters in some situations, but I don’t have details on the exact effects for a trigger like yours. I believe it should work by itself, but it will also impose the drawbacks mentioned in the issue above.

Here’s a related issue that has been fixed:

Issue: `on_query_completions` doesn't handle items starting with `\` in certain syntax

Hi FichteFoll,

So, as for your example, what’s the trigger should be? How to replace it with a whitespace?

Thank you!

Either use alphanumeric characters for your trigger or remove / from your (syntax’s) word_separators setting (ST4 only).
