Hi,

I am looking for way to have Xtext code completion include variables that the user can tab through (like other Eclipse code completions do). I see that the template proposals that can be defined for my Xtext language can use ${prefix}() to define such variables. Is there a way to dot his for my own code completion proposals?

I found Dynamic Templates, where it is said that Xtext does no support this. Does Xtext still not support this?

I also found this thread where a workaround is suggested. Is there an example of how to achieve this?
