UltiSnips

Mutable tabstop

Asked by pielgrzym

Hi,

I have this humble snippet:

https://gist.github.com/3144644

It works by analyzing the contents of tabstop 1 - if it finds any matching brackets in tabstop 1 it adds a new argument to function parameters in tabstop2. This works fine but I cannot cycle through each newly created parameter (since all those parameters are content of one tabstop). Perhaps you could create a special tabstop type that can be mutable from within a snippet (like ${1[]} and in snippet t[1] is actually a list to which user can append/remove items and they will be converted to tabstops afterwards)?

This is theoretically possible, but not implemented. Patches are welcome. I will likely not have a lot of time to add to UltiSnips in the next few months.

I'll try to patch it myself then :)

That would be really nice. Please make sure to provide an implementation, tests and documentation. If you need help running the testsuite or with anything else, feel free to ask.

Can you help with this problem?
