Alfred snippet expansion not working #2845

Open wayne-huang-14 opened 6 years ago

wayne-huang-14 commented 6 years ago

Describe the bug I use the Alfred app's snippets expansion feature where if I type a search key combination, the snippet would replace the key combination typed. This works globally in any application except for VSCode with the Vim plugin enabled.

I've tried disabling the plugin and it works fine.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. In any line, type in the Alfred snippet keyword combination
  2. The snippet will appear but it does not appear correctly where it should completely override the key combination.
  3. For example when I type j;cl it should replace it and display console.log() but instead displays j;clconsole.lo

Expected behavior Typing in the keyword should expand my snippet. In my example above I should get console.log() but instead I keep getting j;clconsole.lo

Environment (please complete the following information):

Additional info There is another plugin that seems to listen for key combinations and may provide more info. There is a bug listed there that is similar: https://github.com/neilsustc/vscode-markdown/issues/200#issuecomment-405007057

I have also experienced this issue, and was successfully able to work around it by opening Alfred Preferences > Snippets > Auto Expansion Options > Tweaking and setting Simulated key event speed to 4/5 (the level below Faster). Still, would be nice if this was fixed!

This workaround also worked for me. Thanks!
