Hi Ztjona, I was using this pull request, thanks it works nice. I was trying to do the "Example - Inserting a snippet without tabstops" shown in the documentation (https://la.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/70524-matlab-snippets) but there's a problem, I think it is with the file "clearWordAtCaretPosion".

Maybe a similar adjustment to those you did in the other files needs to be done in this file. Thanks in advance

Oh, yeah, you are right. The function clearWordAtCaretPosion needs to have a similar fix to replace the code that mentions the JavaEditor.

function clearWordAtCaretPosion()
[wordAtCaret,i1,i2] = getWordAtCaretPosition();
if ~isempty(wordAtCaret)   
    activeEditor = getActiveEditor();
    % --- Select the word
    activeEditor.JavaEditor.setSelection(i1-1,i2);
    % --- Insert empty text to delete the selected word
    activeEditor.JavaEditor.insertTextAtCaret('');
end
end

In this case, though, I could not come up with a reasonable solution. I tried with the function:

activeEditor.insertTextAtPositionInLine(TEXT, LINE, POSITION)

but it can not delete the previous text.

A workaround could involve the property activeEditor.Text. But it replaces all the text in the file.

activeEditor.Text = NEW_TEXT;

And sadly, the property activeEditor.SelectedText is read-only.

I did not find any other method or property to solve it, and as I haven't bumped into an scenario where it is urgent to fix it, I have left it for another moment.

is there a way to make it work? maybe it's easier without it deleting the prefix??
