Hi,
There is a really nice feature in some editors with snippets where you can expand a snippet at a tab stop inside another snippet, and continue walking through the outer snippet's tab stops after all tab stops in the inner snippet have been visited. I've tried this in Atom, but it doesn't seem to work, and I can't find any issues describing this as a bug or intentional behavior. Here is an image of the expected behavior in the Gummi editor:
Although the quality of the gif is not that great, you can see that several inner snippets are being expanded and completed at various points while filling in the tab stops of the outer snippet. In Atom, activating a snippet within another snippet deletes all of the remaining tab stops in the outer snippet once the inner snippet is expanded. It would be great to have the option of chaining snippets together in this way.
