Umm, no, not that I can find. I just opened up a blank Ruby file, hit a
, and autocomplete popped up with all sorts of options, including the snippet you mentioned. However, if I then typed an l
(starting to spell out alias...
), the option for the am
snippet disappeared. So, it looks like autocomplete is not searching the <description>
field, only the <tabTrigger>
field. There aren't any options in Preferences -> Settings - Default
that would seem to address this situation.
So, unfortunately it would seem the solution is one of two things - either edit all your commonly-used snippets to have tabTriggers that make more sense to you, or put together a snippet cheat sheet. It looks like at least one other person was thinking the same thing, as I found this collection without too much searching.
Good luck!
