Adding punctuation closes autocomplete list

[rm-code]

As soon as I add a '.' the list closes. As a workaround I removed all the dots from the prefixes of my snippets, but obviously it would be nicer to have them.

Closing this because there already is a related feature request here:
atom/autocomplete-plus#293

But atom/autocomplete-plus#293 is not related to this issue. Its about using punctuation (e.g. period) to accept auto complete suggestions.

@ezuhaib I am not sure I understand your comment, but the problem is caused by autocomplete-plus as far as I know. It's autocomplete-plus which handles the keypresses in the editor and the providers (i.e. autocomplete-snippets) hook into that functionality. The problem is that autocomplete-plus doesn't "fire" when a '.' is entered by the user and therefore the actual provider is never notified.

That's how I understand the system.

Indeed this is an issue with autocomplete-plus and not autocomplete-snippets because the former provides the prefixes to the latter, and uses regular expressions around alphanumeric characters.

However, the issue you have referred to is about a totally different concept... it is about accepting suggestions by using punctuation.
