• How do I use < as the trigger word

[UltraInstinct05]

For such cases, I think you can either do <tabTrigger>&lt;</tabTrigger> or <tabTrigger><![CDATA[<]]></tabTrigger> since you need to escape < somehow. So either an entity or escaping it in CDATA.

Through & lt;The escape method will not match the keyword and the second method will report an error
