Hello, Thanks for your reply. This works for stand alone typed variables but on snippets where I have let's say a "while loop" with a certain condition as a place holder: while (condition) ... end while after I type my shortcut and press the tab, the snippet completes and takes the caret into the (condition) variable where If I type the name that I want and press my shortcut for the macro to add the "$" symbol then TM adds it infront of "while" so it becomes: $while (condition) ... end while instead of: while ($condition) ... end while
Any way around this?
Thanks
You can do this by recording a macro. Type a word, then under Bundles on the toolbar, go to Macros and click Start Recording. Press the key combination for 'move to beginning of word' (which is option+left arrow for me), and then press '$'. Then click 'Stop Recording'. With any luck you should have a macro that does 'move to beginning of word' and then 'insert $'. You can do that for all the characters you need, and obviously much more complicated scenarios.
