Trigger - now with tabstop support!

Based on a suggestion from Nat[1] I updated Trigger with some code to detect tabstops in the snippet and emulate hitting tab the first time:

try{
var view = ko.views.manager.currentView;

view.setFocus();

view.scimoz.wordLeftExtend();
var name = ko.interpolate.interpolateStrings('%s');

var snippet = ko.projects.findPart('snippet', name, 'container');
if(snippet) {

    Snippet_insert(snippet);

    var rx = /(Â«|\%tabstop\:)/g;

    if (rx.test(snippet.value)) {

        ko.commands.doCommand('cmd_indent');

    }

} else {

    var msg = "no snippet found named " + snippet;

    StatusBar_AddMessage(msg,"debugger",5000,true);

}

} catch(e) {

    alert(e);

}

try {
var view = ko.views.manager.currentView;
view.setFocus();
view.scimoz.wordLeftExtend();

var name = ko.interpolate.interpolateStrings('%s');
var snippet = ko.projects.findPart('snippet', name, 'container');

if(snippet) {
    Snippet_insert(snippet);
    var rx = /(Â«|\%tabstop\:)/g;
    if (rx.test(snippet.value)) {
        ko.commands.doCommand('cmd_indent');
    }
} else {
    var msg = "no snippet found named " + snippet;
    StatusBar_AddMessage(msg,"debugger",5000,true);
}
} catch(e) {
    alert(e);
}

Update: I corrected the code above to handle all tabstops, not just the older style ones I originally tested with =)

Update: I updated the above snippet with re-written code that only uses the new ko.* api. This version of trigger wil only work with 4.2.0 Beta 7 and later.
