Multiple snippets with same trigger

[geraintwhite]

If I have two snippets in my mode's .snippets file like so:

snippet >
description assignment
scope maze
    -> ${1}= ${2}

snippet >
description if
scope maze
    -> IF ${2:**} THEN %${3:L} ELSE %${4:R}

Pressing tab after typing > auto-completes to the second snippet which is understandable. The problem is that the auto-complete list (ctrl-space) only shows the second snippet.

Why do you want to create two snippets with same tabtrigger?

[geraintwhite]

Not the same tab trigger, but so they both show up in the autcomplete list.

But then why to you set same tabTrigger on both of them?

Try using name instead

name assignment
scope maze
    -> ${1}= ${2}
name if
scope maze
    -> IF ${2:**} THEN %${3:L} ELSE %${4:R}

Will they both show up in autocomplete for > then?

Not showing up in the auto-complete menu is to do with #2533. Closing because it is not logical to have the same tabTrigger and setting the name parameter should get them to both show up.
