That's because the scope was also set. So only when the caret is in  
the scope set for the snippet, would enter do this -- I'm trying to  
establish the convention that enter continues the thing one is in,  
i.e. for line comments it continue the comment, for bullet points  
(using *, •, or ·) in plain text, it makes a new point on the next  
line etc.

As for LaTeX, the grammar rule to actually markup the scope for \item  
was temporarily disabled. I've enabled it in the grammar on the  
repository and updated the scope for the snippet. So this will work  
for 1.1b15, or if you do an svn checkout of the LaTeX bundle.

It seems there's a problem with TM_BUNDLE_PATH used in commands  
called from macros (i.e. it's not setup to the macros bundle). I'll  
look into this later — thanks!

No, unfortunately the better solution hasn't been found yet.

The grammars are fully editable! :) I have no idea what it does, but  
if Brad does, he most lkely will add support for it. Otherwise submit  
a test-case with some explanation.
