Features availability in the free version

#1

Hello, are there any features which aren’t available in the free version?

I am trying to find an editor to save me more time and can not make ST3 work as advertised/expected.
Although “auto_complete”: true, i cannot make it to do the auto-completion in HTML or CSS, or JS.

Using Windows 10 home, 64bit.

Thanks in advance

The evaluation version has the same feature set as the full version so that you can properly evaluate if you want to buy it or not.

Can you provide some examples of what auto completion you’re trying to do that aren’t working?

Hi OdatNurd,

Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Below is the detailed description:

  1. Downoladed and installed ST 3

  2. Opened it, created new file and saved it as .html

  3. Now when typed html and hitting “tab” key nothing happens, i checked several other keys and keys combos, same nothing.

Please advise,
T

The only differences I’m aware of are:

  • The nag to purchase appearing in the free / evaluation version on file-save at random intervals.
  • and being unable to ignore the New Version Available notification each time ST3 is started ( as submitted from someone else ).

Everything else should be the same.

Now - in response to your post: Tab isn’t the default key that auto-complete uses when you install ST3… Enter is… You can enable tab using one or more of the following settings:

	"auto_complete_commit_on_tab": true,
	"auto_complete_cycle": true,
	"auto_complete_delay": 0,
	"auto_complete_selector": "meta.tag - punctuation.definition.tag.begin, source - comment - string.quoted.double.block - string.quoted.single.block - string.unquoted.heredoc",
	"auto_complete_triggers":
	[
		{
			"characters": "<",
			"selector": "text.html"
		}
	],
	"auto_complete_with_fields": true,
	"auto_match_enabled": false,
	"auto_upgrade_frequency": 0,
	"shift_tab_unindent": true,

Auto upgrade frequency should remove the nag for the free version, but it also means you need to check for updates yourself.
