Hi all,
Unless I'm doing something terribly stupid, it seems it's impossible to use a snippet while in another snippet without losing the tab placeholders of the first... Is that right? That'd be sort of disappointing, especially since snippets are part of what makes TextMate elegant and customizable---would that be hard to fix?
And a related automating-stuff point: Would it be possible for find operations performed by macros not to wipe out the previous find string? This too I think would immediately make lots of things possible that were only semi-possible before... (Alternatively, you could get the same functionality by allowing commands to select text and move the cursor without the mediation of the separate window, which would be even cooler---you could do stuff like selecting the current sentence or the current block---but seems like it might be a larger undertaking...)

It's a current limitation, and it will be improved.

Most likely, since they already do have a local undo-stack, so probably all stuff they tweak should be on a local stack (e.g. also “filter through command”).
Kind regards Allan
