Snippit affix and suffix improvements

[mtissington 0]

It would be great if the snippit collection affix and suffix are more flexible.

At the moment they are specific specified characters.

 

Instead make them a regex expression. For example

 

Suffix = regex \d would trigger the keyword only when followed by any digit (great for currency symbols)

Suffix = regex \p{P}\p{Z}\r\t would trigger on any delimiter (in any language)

 

This would be a very powerful feature.

This is possible via workflows, which I know you’d probably prefer native snippet support for that, but possibly in the mean time this is a solution

Yes prefer snippets.

In workflows? No idea how I would do that  - can you point me in the right direction to investigate please?
