[TxMt] Re: Can I add a symbol to a word after the word is typed?

[John Relosa]

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.  Brandon
