Saving last triggered snippet in a Global Variable

[ziontee113]

Hi, I'm currently using this mapping to trigger the last triggered LuaSnip snippet:

vim.keymap.set("i", "<A-CR>", function()
    if LAST_TRIGGERED_SNIPPET then
        vim.api.nvim_input("<A-o>")
        vim.schedule(function()
            ls.snip_expand(LAST_TRIGGERED_SNIPPET)
        end)
    end
end, {})

and I put this line LAST_TRIGGERED_SNIPPET = snip before the return of the functions expand() and snip_expand() in LuaSnip's init.lua

Is there a cleaner way to do this (without modifying LuaSnip's source code)? Thank you very much!

Yes! We support dot-repeat (via vim-repeat), but you can do the same programatically by calling ls.expand_repeat(), which will expand the last-expanded snippet at your new cursor-position.
