* doc/faq.org: Add two questions about yas-key-syntaxes. Remove reference to obsolete Google Groups. Remove question about turning off minor mode in some buffers, it was out of date, and not frequently asked. * yasnippet.el (yas-key-syntaxes): Fix docstring.

#+TITLE: Frequently Asked Questions
|
|
|
|
- *Note*: In addition to the questions and answers presented here,
|
|
you might also with to visit the list of [[https://github.com/joaotavora/yasnippet/issues?q=label%3Asupport][solved support issues]] in
|
|
the Github issue tracker. It might be more up-to-date than this
|
|
list.

|
|
|
* Why are my snippet abbrev keys triggering when I don't want them too?
|
|
Expansion of abbrev keys is controlled by [[sym:yas-key-syntaxes][=yas-key-syntaxes=]]. Try
|
|
removing entries which correspond to the abbrev key character syntax.
|
|
For example, if you have a snippet with abbrev key "bar", that you
|
|
don't want to trigger when point follows the text =foo_bar=, remove
|
|
the ="w"= entry (since "bar" has only word syntax characters).
|
|
|
|
* Why aren't my snippet abbrev keys triggering when I want them too?
|
|
See previous question, but in reverse.
|
|
|
|
* Why is there an extra newline?
|
|
|
|
If there is a newline at the end of a snippet definition file,
|
|
YASnippet will add a newline when expanding that snippet. When editing
|
|
or saving a snippet file, please be careful not to accidentally add a
|
|
terminal newline.
|
|
|
|
Note that some editors will automatically add a newline for you. In
|
|
Emacs, if you set =require-final-newline= to =t=, it will add the
|
|
final newline automatically.
|
|
|
|
* Why doesn't TAB navigation work with flyspell
|
|
|
|
A workaround is to inhibit flyspell overlays while the snippet is
|
|
active:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(add-hook 'flyspell-incorrect-hook
|
|
#'(lambda (dummy1 dummy2 dymmy3)
|
|
(and yas-active-field-overlay
|
|
(overlay-buffer yas-active-field-overlay))))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
This is apparently related to overlay priorities. For some reason, the
|
|
=keymap= property of flyspell's overlays always takes priority over the
|
|
same property in YASnippet's overlays, even if one sets the latter's
|
|
=priority= property to something big. If you know emacs-lisp
|
|
and can solve this problem, send a message to bug-gnu-emacs@gnus.org
|
|
or the [[Github issue tracker][https://github.com/joaotavora/yasnippet/issues/]].
|
|
|
|
* How do I use alternative keys, i.e. not TAB?
|
|
|
|
Edit the keymaps [[sym:yas-minor-mode-map][=yas-minor-mode-map=]] and
|
|
[[sym:yas-keymap][=yas-keymap=]] as you would any other keymap:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports code
|
|
(define-key yas-minor-mode-map (kbd "<tab>") nil)
|
|
(define-key yas-minor-mode-map (kbd "TAB") nil)
|
|
(define-key yas-minor-mode-map (kbd "<the new key>") yas-maybe-expand)
|
|
|
|
;;keys for navigation
|
|
(define-key yas-keymap [(tab)] nil)
|
|
(define-key yas-keymap (kbd "TAB") nil)
|
|
(define-key yas-keymap [(shift tab)] nil)
|
|
(define-key yas-keymap [backtab] nil)
|
|
(define-key yas-keymap (kbd "<new-next-field-key>") 'yas-next-field-or-maybe-expand)
|
|
(define-key yas-keymap (kbd "<new-prev-field-key>") 'yas-prev)
|
|
#+end_src

|
|
* How do I define an abbrev key containing characters not supported by the filesystem?
|
|
|
|
- *Note*: This question applies if you're still defining snippets
|
|
whose key /is/ the filename. This is behavior still provided by
|
|
version 0.6 for backward compatibilty, but is somewhat
|
|
deprecated...
|
|
|
|
For example, you want to define a snippet by the key =<= which is not a
|
|
valid character for filename on Windows. This means you can't use the
|
|
filename as a trigger key in this case.
|
|
|
|
You should rather use the =# key:= directive to specify the key of the
|
|
defined snippet explicitly and name your snippet with an arbitrary valid
|
|
filename, =lt.YASnippet= for example, using =<= for the =# key:=
|
|
directive:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC snippet
|
|
# key: <
|
|
# name: <...></...>
|
|
# --
|
|
<${1:div}>$0</$1>
|
|
#+END_SRC
