Transform will only happen when you navigate to the tab stop, it's not live as you type. @salos1982 is that what you are missing?

[salos1982]

Yes, I understand. It makes snippets less functional. It is not convenient to add some common snippets e.g.

async createMyObject(myObject: MyObjectData): Promise<string> {
  return this.repository.createMyObject(myObject);
}

where myObject is placeholder
