Sorry about the subject. The thing is, I type $('') quite a lot, so much that even a tab- trigger isn't ideal. I'd like to have a key-trigger of $ to just activate the thing. The dealbreaker though is that I also use $$ sometimes, and of course an american might use $ for some other reasons. So I wonder, can you have some "smart" entering here, like the parentheses in a way. The behaviour I'd like is that if I just type $, it will expand to $ ('$1')$0 (shorthand snippet syntax), but if I hit delete directly after typing $, it will revert the thing to a simple $-character. Hope I'm making myself clear :)

Couln't you make a command and trigger it with "$" keyboard shortcut and then exlude it from some scopes (i.e. strings etc). We want this to work with $R, $H as well. (I also have som other $-functions for my own use, $w, $T and $L)

yes, because of the $R, $V and other possible $'s I thought that one could have the backspace thingie, because I use the $ to get elements at least 90% of the time. Of course, others may have it different.
What I was looking for was mainly a way to revert the last thing done with backspace so to speak, like both parantheses disappear when you just delete one of them if you just added a pair. Perhaps this is hard-coded behaviour?

You could give $("") a scope, meta.prototype.dollar-sign-empty or something (check the scope naming conventions), and bind a macro to “delete” given that scope that leaves just the “$”.
I think I hit a bug with the $ snippet parsing. I couldn't insert “$ ("$1")$0”, but “ $("$1")$0” but worked.
Attached is the example, you should add detection of '' strings. The $ snippet should be changed to not work in strings.

Two ways that I see you can do this: 1. Create a macro, with key equivalent $, that inserts a dollar sign, a left parenthesis and a '. Then, because these were actually inserted as smart pairs instead of through some snippet, backspace does the right thing. 2. Have the snippet do: “$${1:('$2')}$0” and key equivalent dollar sign. Then you can be pressing a tab when you want to go in, or just type A if you want $A, or type another dollar sign followed by a tab to get $$. 3. Create the macro/snippet/whatever that's triggered on ctrl-$ or cmd-$ instead, so as not to hamper the regular use of dollar sign. 4. This is my favorite: Use the following snippet, with key equivalent dollar sign: $${1/.$|(.+)/(?1:(')/}${1:$}${1/.$|(.+)/(?1:'))/} $0
With this: $ + tab gives you $$ $ + character + tab gives you $A $ + characters + tab gives you $('characters here')
And it automatically adds a space after them in any case. You can of course adjust it to suit your needs.

I briefly mentioned this in my previous response. This will be the default behavior if the pair was inserted as a "smart pair": If you had manually inserted (, then when you remove that the matching one that was inserted would be removed as well. The same would go for a macro that simulated you typing this in.
However, if you use a command or a snippet to insert the parentheses, then they are inserted as regular text, and TM doesn't know that it should remove both of them in this case.

I would just assign the snippet the shortcut ⌥$ (option-shift-4) That's only an extra modifier to hold down occasionally instead of a whole extra key to type. And then you're done and can get back to work. ;)
I have a bunch of Smart Smart Typing Pairs that are basically just a snippet like $3"${1:$TM_SELECTED_TEXT}"$2$0 bound to ⌥( ⌥{ ⌥" ⌥' etc... Sometimes you want to wrap something in quotes and brackets at the same time without reselecting stuff.
$("${1:$TM_SELECTED_TEXT}")$0 bound to ⌥$ should be good enough
