How to turn on suggestions to help a new user?

#1

Hello guys! I know it’s probably kind of stupid question, however, I am not even sure how to search for an answer. I am learning html and css and in this video course the teacher uses sublime text. When he types the value there is a suggestion of all possible options. I have it too but only for the first part like “text-align”, but after that, nothing. How do I enable those? Here is a screenshot of what I am talking about.
P.s. I know this solution is probably obvious but pls help me :), thanks in advance!

The feature being used to show those “hints” is called auto-completion. Sublime Text comes with the basic infrastructure to accomplish this task. The content to show is provided by packages (plugins).

You might want to have a look to packagecontrol.io which is the primary source for such packages. You can install package control by simply pasting the install script to ST’s console. (Menu->View->Show Console)

Packages are installed via command pallet Ctrl+Shift+P / Package Control: Install Package once package control is installed.

I guess the package used by your teacher was something like CSS3 which is one of the more popular packages for CSS support. But there might be many more.
