Problem: Given that `vim.snippet.expand()` sets temporary `<tab>`/`<s-tab>` keymaps there is no way to build "smart-tab" functionality where `<tab>` chooses the next completion candidate if the popup menu is visible. Solution: Set the keymap permanent in `_defaults`. The downside of this approach is that users of multiple snippet engine's need to adapt their keymaps to handle all their engines that are in use. For example: vim.keymap.set({ 'i', 's' }, "<Tab>", function() if foreign_snippet.active() then return "<Cmd>lua require('foreign_snippet').jump()<CR>" elseif vim.snippet.active({ direction = 1 }) then return "<Cmd>lua vim.snippet.jump(1)<CR>" else return key end end, { expr = true }) Upside is that using `vim.keymap.set` to override keymaps is a well established pattern and `vim.snippet.expand` calls made by nvim itself or plugins have working keymaps out of the box.
