Snippets replace keywords default in snippet in code

Also is there a way to change the icons for snippets in the intellisense menu? The current doesn't look good at dark theme.

Hi Miguel,

There is an ICodeSnippetTemplateSessionEventSink language service you can install to receive events from code snippets like when they are opened, closed, or a declaration is changed, etc.  You could possibly watch those events and on close, if you determine something wasn't altered from the original open, perform another text change to alter the fields appropriately. 

You'd probably have to persist the original ITextSnapshot when the session opened, and where the fields were in that session.  Then translate those text ranges to the current snapshot when the session is closed.  You can get the fields (while the session is open) with this code:

this.View.Properties.TryGetValue(typeof(CodeSnippetFieldTagger), out tagger)

For your last question, I'm not sure there's a good intercept point to change the code snippet icon right now.  How would you like to see the built-in one altered to render better in dark theme? 

Thanks, I'll take a look into the service.

Somehow the icon in your sample application looks better/right but on my application it's the same as the metro wite: https://imgur.com/a/d1B1ePh although I'm using the metro dark theme and everything else seems to be okay regarding styles / colors.

Hi Miguel,

I think I see the problem.  We ship with several image sets in SyntaxEditor but you must activate an appropriate one on theme changes.  Please see the "SyntaxEditor / User Interface Features / IntelliPrompt Features / Image Source Providers" topic in the documentation that comes with the product since that talks about the static DefaultImageSet property you can set.
