Can not add right braces '}' as content placeholder.

They will break multiple things, like tabstops for example. Escaping them (\\}) does not solve the problem either.

This does not work.

it('${1:does something}'${2:, function($3) {
    $4
\}});

👍 The issue is in this code:

snippets/lib/snippets.coffee

Lines 212 to 218 in ce58ecf

	wordRegexForSnippets: (snippets) ->
	prefixes = {}
	for prefix of snippets
	prefixes[character] = true for character in prefix
	prefixCharacters = Object.keys(prefixes).join('')
	new RegExp("[#{_.escapeRegExp(prefixCharacters)}]+")

The regex eagerly searches for the next }, and does not factor in the need to count {'s to determine outer and inner scope. This may require something beyond regular expressions.
