There is of course always the menu you can use to activate the snippet, in which case it would work. Or through some other hotkey.
Right, I keep forgetting there are people who like using menus and the mouse. :-) I just realized that a snippet could have both a key equivalent and a tab trigger. Maybe then it would make sense to also bind all those snippets to the same key equivalent, maybe in fact Ctrl-Shift-W, in addition to their tab triggers? This way the user can select the text, and then get to choose from a nice list of all the tags they might want to wrap that text around, or to chose to use a custom tag.
Unless the option of having both a key equivalent and a tab trigger for snippets was not the intended behavior/feature, but instead a bug.
