Hey guys, 

I would like to propose a standard for snippet trigger naming. 

I would like if the keyword related triggers (class, for, if, switch, 
enumeration, etc.) all had a full keyword trigger. This makes it a LOT easier 
for polygot programmers to be efficient users of snippets. This of course has 
the downside that you don't safe as many characters. This can easily be solved 
by introduction short-cut snippets. I do this in my Scala bundle[1]. The 
short-cut snippets expand to the full keyword and as such you get the same 
result as before by pressing tab twice. 

An example from my bundle: 

snippet: 
        name: class 
        trigger: class
        output: ...code...
snippet: 
        name: shortcut - class 
        trigger: c
        output: class

How do people feel about changing their bundles to conform to this standard? 

Thanks,
Mads Hartmann Jensen
