Howdy,

And a place holder at the very end of an environment expansion allows you to skip all the way there with the same keystroke.

I think folks also feel they have to select the placeholder, delete it and then enter the replacement. That just isn't true! The Ctl-Tab will move to and select the next placeholder and then simply typing will replace it with the text you enter.

Good Luck,
