Can't use "$" in custom snippet about vscode-surround HOT 5 CLOSED

Oh sorry didn't see the double slash I'll try it Thursday when I'm back at the office but I'm sure if it works for you it will work for me, thank you for your help and for the plug-in!

Yup the double slash did the trick thx for the support!

Hmm could you please try the snippet below:

"surround.custom": {
    "yourCommandName": {
      // label must be unique
      "label": "Your Snippet Label",
      "description": "Your Snippet Description",
      "snippet": "\\$start = microtime(true); { $TM_SELECTED_TEXT }$0 \\$time_elapsed_secs = microtime(true) - \\$start" // <-- snippet goes here.
    },
  }

You just need to escape the dollar signs.

I already tried that but then it just doesn't write the $

Did you try the snippet I just shared? It worked for me... If you still have the problem, could you share your configuration?
