Autocomplete window dosn't show in HTML

#1

Hi guys! I’m new to ST3 (just downloaded the latest build), and I have this issue: when I open new HTML file in ST3, the autocomplete only works when I hold ctrl+space (I use win 10), when I open css files, the autocomplete window pops when I type, without the need to hold any key. I want the same to be when I edit HTML (or any other file type, for that matter).
How do I do that? Why the HTML autocomplete dosen’t show up?
I copied this line to the user settings, after an answer to similar quetion, and its not working:
“auto_complete_selector”: “source, comment, text.plain, meta.tag, punctuation.definition.tag.begin, css”,

I use the HTML sinppets and AllAutocomplete packeges.

What can I do to solve this issue?

Thanks,
Yishai

as will, inside an opening tag, typing the first letter of an HTML attribute i.e. spacec:

I ment plain text autocomplete. typing < + something does open the autocomplete window, but in css this works even when i type “di” for example, and the window shows - without typing <.
