<s snippet does not expand in org-mode

[siddharthshekar]

When I try expanding <s in an org-mode buffer, it just ends up deleting the <s text and not replacing it with a #+BEGIN_SRC...#+END_SRC as expected. Expanding src works as expected, except it can't be undone (but that's a separate issue). Does the < in the key need to be escaped?

Have you updated doom-snippets? This was a known bug that should've been resolved by 3ce0c49 and 162713d.

I'm not sure about being unable to undo src, however.

My bad! I didn't realize I wasn't on the latest version of doom snippets. It works as expected on updating.

It would be nice to be able to undo the snippet creation, but again, that's not this issue. I'll go ahead and close this one.

No sweat!

It would be nice to be able to undo the snippet creation

A snippet can be undone once it is finished (TAB'ed out of the last field, if any) or aborted.

If you use Doom Emacs, pressing ESC or C-g should abort the snippet (might have to press it twice; once to escape insert mode -- if you use evil -- then again to abort the snippet). Then pressing u (M-x undo) should undo the snippet.

In <s's case, you'll have to press u twice, because the first time you press it, it will undo the abortion of the snippet. i.e. it will put your cursor back in the first field of the snippet.

The second time it will undo the snippet altogether.
