Automate ctrl-shift-m after Snippet?

I have many snippets where input is required. Is there a way to automate the ctrl-shift-m to open the prompt popup?

I am coming from dbForge, which integrated snippets and input without a separate pop-up screen.

    Hi Paul,
    This makes sense to me. Do you think this should be optional behaviour or should we automatically detect parameters and popup anytime they are inside a snippet?

    Thanks,
    Aaron.

    I would never assume everybody wants a feature. I think it would have to be an option to auto-open the prompt box...but only auto-open if there are parameters present.

    Or instead of an option, perhaps some sort of indicator within the snippet like *AUTOPOP*

    Can you think of a situation in which you wouldn't want a parameterized snippet to pop up the dialog?

    I can't think of one, but in the past I've added what seemed like no-brainer user requests/features to software only to have to pull back and make them optional.

    In this instance If it were just me I would always have the box pop up if there are parameters present. (Seems like a no-brainer :oops: )

    I'm inclined to agree. However, if this were a no-brainer, why wouldn't Microsoft have implemented it this way? I guess it could always be implemented without an option, and we'll quickly find out if this falls short of expectations!

    The 6.3 beta should have this feature in if you'd like to give it a go.

    Thanks,
    Aaron.

    Do you think that this should also be an option?
