Overloading Keymaps (Switch Choice/Dynamic Node External Update)

[evesdropper]

I was thinking about using the same mapping for changing choices and dynamic node external update. Is there a way to create a mapping that does so - somewhat like nvim-cmp's super-tab functionality?

I was thinking something like:

-- psuedocode
vim.keymap.set("i", "<key>", function ()
if active choicenode then
<Plug>luasnip-next-choice
else
dynamic node external update
end
end

Is this possible, and if so, how would I make it work?

I think you pretty much have it, use ls.choice_active(), ls.change_choice(1) and _G.dynamic_node_external_update(i) instead of the placeholders, and it should work

Oh, one error I can spot is that in c(3), the isn needs a jump-index (it can only be nil if it is immediately inside the choices-list). Does isn(1, ...) fix both issues?
BTW interesting idea to return isn from dynamicNode, haven't seen that until now👌

Hmm, doesn't seem to - still getting the same error 😦

Kind of out of necessity as the indents would not persist 😭

Oh wait, my bad, that isn is immediately inside the choices-list, I mixed up the indent 😅
But I've found it, it's because the "pass"-key is duplicated for restoreNode, which is not allowed. Appending .. j, like for "var" will do it.

Ah, got it, thanks so much for the help! I also noticed when that works that there's now a small bug with the snippet, which I've just fixed. Now regex captures and external update can exist in harmony 🥳

Beatiful!

Of course :D
