Subject: (yasnippet) how to disable TAB <tab> C-i?
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2022 15:29:37 +0000

Hello,

as per: https://github.com/joaotavora/yasnippet, I am sending an e-mail 
to you to ask for help.

I really like yasnippets, because it makes my workflow more productive, 
but I have not been able to disable the autocompletion with the TAB key:

* What I have tried
(use-package yasnippet :defer t :commands (yas-minor-mode)
  :bind
  (:map
   yas-minor-mode-map
   ("TAB" . nil)
   ("<tab>" . nil)
   ;; Expand with C-c m
   ;; (how?? yas--direct-{keymaps,org-mode})
   ("C-c m". yas-expand)
   ;; Change C-S-i to navigate back
   ("ESC TAB" . yas-prev-field)
   :map
   esc-map
    ;; Disable this to enable C-S-i to navigate back
    ;; (previously defined in bindings.el)
    ("\t" . nil)))

(with-eval-after-load 'yasnippet
  (setq yas-snippet-dirs (list "~/snippets/"))
  (yas--load-snippet-dirs)
  ;; allow to insert a snippet within a snippet
  (setq yas-triggers-in-field t)
  ;; Testing (above)
  ;; ;; Change trigger key
  ;; (define-key yas-minor-mode-map (kbd "C-i") nil)
  ;; (define-key yas-minor-mode-map (kbd "C-c m") 'yas-expand)
  ;; (define-key yas-minor-mode-map [(tab)]        nil)
  ;; (define-key yas-minor-mode-map (kbd "TAB")    nil)
  ;; (define-key yas-minor-mode-map (kbd "<tab>")  nil)
  )

* Current behaviour
1. I launch a snippet with C-c m
2. Inside, I type the name of another snippet, for clarity, assume it is 
tuk
3. I type [TAB], C-i
4. tuk gets expandedtuk

* Expected behaviour
1. I launch a snippet with C-c m
2. Inside, I type the name of another snippet, for clarity, assume it is 
tuk
3. I type [TAB], C-i
4. I get out of ttukhe first snippet (tuk does not get expanded).

tuk is this:
# -*- mode: snippet -*-
# name: latex-inline
# key: tuk
# expand-env: ((yas-indent-line 'fixed))
# --
\\($1\\)$0

How do I configure yasnippet so that snippets get expended with C-c m 
*only*? Thanks!

I'm not familiar with use-package or the syntax it uses for keymaps, but
does

   (:map
    yas-minor-mode-map
    ("TAB" . nil)
    ([(tab)] . nil)

fix the issue?

Hi Lars,

Unfortunately, not. This does not work either:

(with-eval-after-load 'yasnippet

  (setq yas-snippet-dirs
        (list "~/.emacs.d/snippets/"))
  (yas--load-snippet-dirs)
  ;; allow to insert a snippet within a snippet
  (setq yas-triggers-in-field t)
  ;; Change trigger key
  (define-key yas-minor-mode-map (kbd "C-i") nil)
  (define-key yas-minor-mode-map (kbd "C-c m") 'yas-expand)
  (define-key yas-minor-mode-map [(tab)]        nil)
  (define-key yas-minor-mode-map (kbd "TAB")    nil)
  (define-key yas-minor-mode-map (kbd "<tab>")  nil))

Looking at yasnippet.el, I don't see any obvious reason why that
shouldn't work.  Perhaps Noam has some comments; added to the CCs.

I think there are some redundancies ((kbd "C-i") == (kbd "TAB") and
(kbd "<tab>") ~= [(tab)]), but yes, that should work. I haven't kept
up with yasnippet maintenance, so possibly there is some failure with
more recent Emacs versions (although I don't see any version numbers
mentioned in the bug report)?

Also, it would be useful to have a fully contained minimal
reproducible example, to eliminate mistakes of the sort where you have
accidentally have an extra unnoticed bit code in your init files which
is messing things up, or the yasnippet part in your config isn't
actually being evaluated for some reason.

Thanks, I think that I had sent this:

I am also attaching an org file which may serve to show a minimal

I hope that I am not ahead of myself, but this seems to be working
