I'm trying to write a snippet for wikimedia for applying bold (wrapping a string in **str**)
I've attached cmd-B to the snippet, and I'd like it to bold the CURRENT_WORD if there is no selection. Sounds like a job for:
**${TM_SELECTED_TEXT:$TM_CURRENT_WORD}**Works fine for the selected text, but not for the current word, where it returns things like this:
he|re -->cmd-B--> he**here**reAny pointers, or do I need to be made into a command? (in that case, what use does $TM_CURRENT_WORD have in snippets?
TM's snippet system 'only' inserts something. It only replaces something if you invoke it via 'foo' and pressing TAB. Ad hoc I do not know whether one needs $TM_CURRENT_WORD in a snippet but one never knows. In a snippet one could write **${1:${TM_SELECTED_TEXT:text}}**
Or even a command à la:
input: selection or word echo -n "**`cat`**" output: replace selection
if you don't select something in beforehand.
