Don't trigger an expansion in Ultisnips

Question

Sometimes I want Ultisnip not to expand a snippet because I need this word as it was typed, even though is mapped to a snippet(of course in a perfect world of perfect snippets this wouldn't have happened).

I need to press ESC and 2 times u and even so it doesn't work sometimes. Any other way?

Have you tried literally inserting the character that causes the expansion by using control-V? Doesnt Ultisnips require you to hit a « trigger » first? — D. Ben Knoble, Oct 04 '19 at 03:25
I assume the OP is talking about snippets with autotriggering (:h UltiSnips-autotrigger). Afaik, the answer is no. However, I could imagine a toggle function to disable autotrigger in UltiSnips snippets temporarily. There is a closed related issue #874 on github. — Hotschke, Oct 05 '19 at 08:40

I have made the following code, just in case:

nmap <D-I> :let @z=input('enter text: ') <bar> norm "zp<CR>

Simply, type new text to be inserted , where it is not effected by i-mappings or Ultisnip.

Simplified: :put =input(...)<CR> – D. Ben Knoble Nov 16 '19 at 14:36
No, put doesn't work character wise the same way. – eyal karni Nov 16 '19 at 15:13
Well sure but since youre hacking around a bizarre case anyway – D. Ben Knoble Nov 16 '19 at 15:24

pressing Ctrl-V does not work? – Christian Brabandt Nov 17 '19 at 16:30
Maybe, but it is also useful for mapping such as jk. And it takes longer to do ctrlv. – eyal karni Nov 17 '19 at 21:38
