Is there any way to customize the trigger used to expand a tab trigger rather than using tab?  It's very limiting currently because in some places pressing the tab key will often have affects which negate the triggering of a text.  Such as if I tried to use a tab trigger while typing this question, pressing tab results in the focus of my cursor moving ouside of the textbox and thus not expanding what I'd hoped to write.

If I could customize this to trigger on a special character appended to each of my trigger values rather than a key then it would enable me to make much greater use of the program.

For example

    url<kbd>Tab</kbd>    <-- expands www.whatever.com
    &url<kbd>Space</kbd>   <-- would allow me to use it anywhere

No, there is no way of customising of tab trigger functionality. We were considering this feature, but weren't able to implement it yet. 

Could you please give us feedback regarding the implementation?
1) What options you'd love to have? Is it predefined set of trigger keystrokes with select box, or free form input where you type tab trigger characters or keystrokes?
2) Do you want to setup this option globally for all snippets or global default + custom trigger for each snippet?
