snippets using the same key don't get all listed

Hi, thanks for this package, helpful to use instead of relying on a capf translation.
If you don't mind I've noticed a single issue: if I have multiple snippets with the same key, only the first one gets listed during completion. Do you know why?
Surely I could rename my snippets foo, foo2, foo3... and stop bothering you, but I didn't have that small issue with company.

Also, off-topic but do you plan to release your package on Melpa? (very fine if you want to keep it for yourself)

Anyway have a good day/night.

Interesting, I'll have a look into this.

When it's more done, yeah maybe even upstreamed into cape but for now it's just testing. Hence no readme or anything

Hi, I tested your latest commit version ba7ff80 but I still have the same problem.

Just to make it clear about what I'm speaking of, I'll give you an example:

In emacs-lisp-mode, I have two add-hook snippets, one with and without lambda, defined like this:

# name: add-hook simple form
# key: add-hook
# --
(add-hook '$1-hook '$2-mode)
# name: add-hook form with lambda
# key: add-hook
# --
(add-hook '$1-hook (lambda () ($2)))

As you can see, both share the same key, and this is how they are displayed with company-mode:

company

Now with version 0.0.3 of cape-yasnippet and corfu:

cape-yasnippet

If I expand it it's choosing the first add-hook snippet definition and doesn't propose me the second one.

Did you read the commit message and set the relevant variable?

No need for apologies :) Glad it's working for you!

Just found out, if someone still desires to use 'key instead of 'name and he has multiple snippets with the same # key (as in my initial problem), he can use YASnippet's # uuid attribute. Quick example:

# uuid: 1d1c72ad-b1f2-48op-958a-6d87g2ccb477
# key: printf
# name: insert printf with newline
# --
printf "$1\n"
# uuid: 9h4d22ad-r1g6-48af-908a-6d33d2ccb407
# key: printf
# name: insert printf with redirect
# --
printf "$1\n" >> $2

Having different # uuid fixes the problem. One can generate uuids from the command line with uuidgen (installed by default on most distros, macOS, Ubuntu, etc.), but you can use whatever like # uuid: foo and # uuid: bar as long as it's different.
