Snippets not working in autocompletion

JoshClose · June 2017

I created a snipped through Edit -> Autocompletion -> Create New Code Snippet.

If I do Edit -> Autocompletion -> Insert Snippet the snippet shows up just fine.

When I try and type the name of my snippet I can see in in the autocompletion list and the tooltip says (code snippet - press TAB). I press tab and the text name completes, but my snippet doesn't show up.

Am I doing something wrong or do I have wrong expectations here?

Does your snippet contain code, or just namespaces/references?

Code. Here is the file.

I see the problem: it doesn't like the underscore in the shortcut. I'll fix in the next build. In the meantime, you can work around this by removing the underscore.
