My emacs is running on Window 7 and I have just installed yasnippet via M-x package-list and added few lines to my .emacs file because I read around the web that it needs to be initialized.
I tried writing a simple yasnippet for LaTeX, calling it "fraction", triggered by typing fr+ TAB and saved it in ~\.emacs.d\elpa\yasnippet-0.8.0\snippets\latex-mode. This is the code.
# -*- mode: snippet -*-
# name: fraction
# key: fr
# --
\dfrac{$1}{$0}
Since yasnippet was adding a newline everytime I triggered this snippet I modified the .emacs file. This is how it looks now:
;; yasnippet
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/yasnippet-0.8.0")
(require 'yasnippet)
(setq yas-snippet-dirs '("~/.emacs.d/elpa/yasnippet-0.8.0/snippets"))
(setq-default mode-require-final-newline nil)
(yas-global-mode 1)
Now however, everytime I type 'fr' it sure gives me \dfrac{}{} but as soon as I write inside the first pair of curly braces, the same value appears in the second pair of braces (denominator) and pressing TAB pushes the cursor out of the last '}'. What am I missing here? How can I fix this problem?
My entire .emacs file is below. I'm probably doing something wrong, please help me correct it.
