How to have autocomplete with Tab and Return?

#1

When I try to use the Tab key to insert an autocomplete suggestion, a (soft) tab is inserted; when I try again, that suggestion is properly inserted. What should I change in my settings such that I have the option to use either, the Tab key or the Return key to insert an autocomplete suggestion?

[code]{
“auto_complete”: true,
“auto_complete_commit_on_tab”: false,
“auto_complete_commit_trigger_characters”:

	"Tab",
	"Enter",
	"Return"
],
"auto_complete_delay": 50,
"auto_complete_selector": "source, comment, text.plain",
"auto_complete_size_limit": 4194304,
"auto_complete_with_fields": true,
"auto_find_in_selection": true,
"find_selected_text": true,
"font_face": "Droid Sans Mono",
"font_size": 15,
"highlight_line": false,
"highlight_modified_tabs": true,
"ignored_packages":

	"Markdown",
	"SideBarEnhancements",
	"Vintage"
],
"line_numbers": true,
"line_padding_bottom": 5,
"line_padding_top": 5,
"match_brackets": true,
"tab_completion": false,
"tab_size": 2,
"translate_tab_to_spaces": true,
"word_wrap": true

}
[/code]

See: https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/using-tab-and-enter-for-auto-complete

Also, probably set setting auto_complete_commit_on_tab to true, instead of false, or try this:

    // Using TAB and ENTER for auto complete
    // https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/using-tab-and-enter-for-auto-complete/23300
    { "keys": ["enter"], "command": "commit_completion", "context":
        [
            { "key": "auto_complete_visible" },
            { "key": "setting.auto_complete_commit_on_tab", "operand": false }
        ]
    },
