Autocompletion in HTML file does nothing for me

#1

Hello

After going through Sublime 3 from Scratch tutorial from Jesse Liberty (Pluralsight) I really got excited about Sublime to the point that I purchased it immediately. However, the very first try (to use Zen Coding in a test html file, resulted with the realization that I must be doing something wrong. Here is the situation:

I am running Sublime 3 (Beta) on Windows 8.1 64-bit OS and have added the following plugins

AngularJS, Bootstrap3 Snippets, Emmet, Emmet Css Snippets, Nettuts + Fetch, SidebarEnhancements, SnippetMaker,SublimeCodeIntel and View in Browser

Then I created a new empty file and saved it as an HTML file (I did not see a different way of assigning the “language type” to a file). Subsequently I added a basic structure of an emty HTML file and discovered that by typing - i do not get the matching generated automatically (this is true for any of HTML tags i tried).

Having Emmet plugin, I tried to see a few lines being generated:

ul>li*4

The line in red is where I tried to see how four child “li” elemens will be generated. Hitting either TAB or SPACE key results with the insertion of that key in the text - it does not trigger any text creation for me.

Lastly, here are my user settings:

{
“auto_complete_commit_on_tab”: true,
“auto_complete_delay”: 10,
“bold_folder_labels”: true,
“caret_style”: “wide”,
“color_scheme”: “Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Monokai Bright.tmTheme”,
“font_size”: 12,
“highlight_line”: true,
“highlight_modified_tabs”: true,
“ignored_packages”:

	"Vintage"
],
"line_padding_bottom": 4,
"save_on_focus_lost": true,
"shift_tab_unindent": true

}

Can you please bail me out?

Disable every package but Emmet. Restart, and try again… then start enabling the disabled packages 1 by 1 till you find the conflicting one.
