Snippets are triggered by keypress notifications to be sure that the user typed the snippet, otherwise they could be triggered by pastes as well.
Unfortunately when doing multiple insertions Scintilla does not report the keys typed, it appears to report it as insertions, which sort of makes sense. But that does not trigger snippets.
Not sure how to distinguish multiple insertions from user typing and multiple insertions from other causes.
