ctrl-j opens snippet after trigger, but...

rjwse@aol.com · 02-18-2023, 03:37 PM

Ctrl-j after trigger opens snippet correctly, but then second and subsequent ctrl-j does nothing further. I have a boatload of snippets and am going through them to see if somehow another snippet is causing this; so far, nothing. For example, the snippet '<<' followed by ctrl-j makes the snippet of '<$1>${2*}</$1>$3' to appear on screen as <|><\> and I can put in 'p' but then nothing more happens with second ctrl-j.
Best regards, Pop

I tried the following

1) Typw >>
2) press ctrl+j
3) cursor is inside first tag
4) type p
5) press ctrl+j
6) cursor is between tags
7) type x
8) press ctrl+j
9) cursor is after last tag

Thanks for reply. I went through my voluminous list of snippets to see if there were some sort of internal interference, but no avail. I switched back from x11 to wayland and now they are working well. Thanks again, Pop
