Snippets fails to expand

[ipxfer]

I'm running Obsidian v1.1.9 on Windows 11 with Snippets v0.12.

Snippets are not expanding and they just get selected. I tried turning off all the community plug-ins, and results in same outcome.

Anyone else having the same issue?

Hi I have a similar issue on Windows 10 and Obsidian 1.1.9.

Whatever method I use, snippets won't expand:

• Tab will put a tab
• Space will input a space
• Ctr + Tab will do nothing

This even happens with the demo snippet.

Check your hotkeys Ctrl+Tab might be binded to something else I had the same issue

Same issue here. ctrl+tab has no bindings and space adds a space (after i checked setting on)

Same issue here. I can't expand any snippets.

if you are dependent on this plugin, use legacy editor until this is fixed. settings -> editor -> use legacy editor.

check bindings in .obisidian/hotkeys.json It should have this binding for snippets plugin

  "text-snippets-obsidian:text-snippets": [
    {
      "modifiers": [
        "Mod"
      ],
      "key": "Tab"
    }
  ],

Check whether any other action has got this binding Mod and Tab together

Hi

The binding was missing in the json. Adding it solved the issue. In my case, no other binding with the same binding was setup.

Thanks for your help

The easiest thing for me was to change the hotkey of (text snipets: Run snippet replacement) from command + tab to anything else. Then it works.

Thanks!

Hey folks, came here to see if anyone else was having an issue. I'm running Obsidian v1.2.7 on Windows 11. I have the hotkey set for ctrl+tab, but it wasn't in the hotkeys.json file so I manually added it as per https://github.com/ArianaKhit/text-snippets-obsidian/issues/60#issuecomment-1398222516, restarted Obsidian, and it still doesn't work. Am I missing something? Because I have Expand on Tab and Expand on Space toggled on, but after I type the snippet string and hit space or tab, it only adds the space after the string, or indents the whole string. CTRL+Tab does absolutely nothing. I don't really want to revert to the legacy editor.... any ideas?

@shayaknyc : ctrl-tab won't work because that will switch tabs. Need to change the hotkeys. That said, doesn't work for me either.

I managed to make it work with the manual shortcut (Ctrl + Shirt + R for me) but space and tab binding isn't working unless I go to legacy editor which will be deprecated.

Is there a way to make those bindings work on non-legacy editor?

Note: Even with tab disables in the editor settings the binding isn't working
