Dear Vero,

Thanks for this answer! This is very helpful! I would suggest that allowing the user to bind some sort of completion key (whether tab or something else) to snippets would be a great feature! The methods that you showed are great, but can be a bit inconvenient when there are many dozens of hard-to-remember snippets!

I am using the "Snippets" feature. However, when typing my snippets, it is hard to remember the keywords themselves. Obviously, I can lookup the keyword itself or snippet name, but that is laborious and somewhat defeats the purpose of it being a snippet. Is there a way to enable autocompletion (e.g. TAB completion) of the snippet keyword itself?

For example, say I have a snippet like this:

"my_greeting" -> "Hello! It is nice to meet you! I hope you are having a good day!"

Thus, when I type "my_greeting", it will be replaced with "Hello! It is nice to meet you! I hope you are having a good day!".

But... what if I cannot remember "my_greeting" is the keyword ? I would like to type "my_" press TAB  (or some other key) and get a list of keywords I can select. 

Is this a feature that is already available and can be used? If not, what is the next best approach to mimic this?
