Additionally, dmaphy pointed out another problem: when moving the
cursor backwards in a completed snippet and then jump to the next
defined cursor position, it's messed up.
Testcase:
Use the following snippet in some PHP code

class=class %cursor% \n{\n\tpublic function __construct(%cursor%)\n\t{\n
\t\t%cursor%\n\t}\n\n\tpublic function __destruct(%cursor%)\n\t{\n\t\t%
cursor%\n\t}\n\n\t%cursor%\n}

Then use the snippet: class<TAB>
and type "abcd" on the first cursor position, move the cursor back by
two positions and press the "Move cursor in snippet" keybinding to jump
to the next cursor position. The cursor is then inside "__construct"
instead of inside the braces.
Maybe we can live with that but it'd be better if it would be fixed
though this might be not easy.

This was actually not so good and so I reverted in the attached patch.
The keybinding for "Go to last used tab" should be left unchanged, and
there is currently no default for the new keybinding. I personally used
Super-Tab which seems quite handy but not sure whether it should be the
default as I have no idea how many people actually have a Super key.


I also fixed a little bug where the cursor wasn't set correctly for
snippets like:

cur=%cursor%%brace_open%\n%brace_close%

The cursor should be before the braces but it was placed after.

Enrico
