Some snippet bugs

Description

Some snippet like ** will not work completely even I press Tab afterward.
Some snippet like @6 work if I press Tab but no suggestion window popped up.

Sorry didn't have time to test all the snippets.

Additional Information

System: MacOS 10.14
VSCode and LaTeXworkshop: latest

I forget the precise details but this is a vs code issue, I believe it's to do with having special characters in snippets.

Could it be because some snippet has special meaning to the editor?
@/ and @( seems similar but the former one doesn't work.

Also, all snippets work if import from Command+Shift+P "Show All Command" window.

This may help you, I know at one point I experienced the same issue. I looked at my settings.json and one of these might help you:

    "editor.snippetSuggestions": "top",
    "editor.suggestSelection": "recentlyUsedByPrefix",
    "editor.tabCompletion": "onlySnippets",
    "editor.quickSuggestionsDelay": 0,

Please check the closed issues labeled with snippets.

I've checked those issues, but none of them seems to work this time.
I believe it's not autocompletion's problem.

I've checked the setting.

Here is the solution, if the editor.snippetSuggestions is set to onlySnippets, Tab will work.
The default on option won't work.

But still, no suggestion window pops, it still might be a bug.

There is no suggestion window popup for ** but it should work for all the others. Do you confirm?

Not all others works, ** is just an example, like @/ doesn't have popup either.
Sorry, I don't have a full list of what doesn't have popup windows.

Except **, all the other snippets work on my installation. Note that snippets do not work on lines longer than 100 characters if cursor is nat at the end of line because of a bug in vscode.

That's interesting, did you also set to onlySnippets?
Also, I believe this is independent to 100 characters bug.

I have "editor.snippetSuggestions": "inline".

Everything should be properly fixed now. To have intellisense automatically triggered inside snippets, set "editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false.
