[ space to expand snippets ]
Yeah ... I know it be might tricky at times to trigger things on a space, but some things you just don't type that often .. like 'fr ', or 'swt ' (for a switch statement) .. or 'fnc ' .. for a function-snippet trigger (well, at least not in English anyway ... sometimes it does catch me but I've been able to work around it with a little dance about the arrow keys and some carefully placed spaces here and there -- really infrequent, tho)
Also, the scope might be able to help here, since you can limit the scope of where the item will fire.
But your suggestion is interesting ... are you saying I should bind the ctrl-space 'chord' to the tab key so I can use the already-in-there TextMate Tab-expansion triggers?
Not being the OP, but I think that was the idea.
That might be a good workaround for me for the time being ... I remember coming accross something about a KeyBinding file that I can mess around w/ ... I think someone said it was in ~/Library/KeyBindings ... though I don't have one there ... I could make one, but I wouldn't know what to put in there ... hmm .. maybe google can help on that one.
Or maybe Help / Key Bindings! :)
But if anyone would like to cater to the lazy man and has any insight, it would be much appreciated.
If you're lazy just do: cmd-option-M (start macro recording) tab (inserts a tab/expands snippet) cmd-option-M (stop macro recording) cmd-ctrl-M (save scratch macro)
Now set the key equivalent of that macro to option-space or whatever you like.
