Html + TAB does nothing

#29

haha!
I met the same problem just like you~
hope following answer can help you.
I use sublime-text3.

first,
you should check sublime text > Edit > show completion ( check it > ctrl + space or tab )
In my case, that was set as “Ctrl + space”.
So, I set “HTML” in right corner, wrote html and pressed “crt+space”, then it worked.

If it worked and you want to change the key as Tab.
You can go to “preference” > keybindings > put this code> { “keys”: [“tab”], “command”: “auto_complete” } in user setting > done!

hope it can help you~~
Hope you can understand my poor English OTL…

html 입력하고 tab 키를 눌렀음에도 불구하고, 반응이 없으면,
edit설정의 show completion을 확인 하세요.
그리고 ctrl+space로 설정되어 있다면,
preference > key binding 에서 아래 코드를 입력하세요.
{ “keys”: [“tab”], “command”: “auto_complete” }
물론 user 라는 파일 창에 입력해야 합니다.

输入html之后，按tab之后，如果不自动完成显示的话，
进入edit选项，查看 show completion 是否设置为tab,
我的情况是设定为 ctrl+space。
若果想更换为tab键,你可以进入preference选项，选 key binding。
在user窗口输入以下编码即可。
{ “keys”: [“tab”], “command”: “auto_complete” }
祝你好运咯~

Html + TAB does work, it must be Sublime 3 because in my Instructors video he said Ctlr + Space and in his course the set up is for Sublime 2. This thread helped me out, thanks!

Make sure you are in a html type file. When you open a new file in sublime it may default to open a Plain Text file.
You will see this listed in the lower right hand corner of the window. Click on it and select HTML. Then you can use the “html” and click TAB to get the base document info inserted.

I had the same problem.

When Emmet installed Sublimetext starting to use Emmet abbreviation for html base structure so you have to type this:
html:5 + tab

It’s simple. When you first save a newly opened file, make sure you are saving it as a “.html” file at the end.

Try saving an html file first the type “html” then click tab. It worked for me. E.g. Save file as test.html then type html then click tab. Worked for me. Cheers

Primeiro você salva o documento com .html
proximo passo e abrir o documento salvo e digitar html + tab.
OBS: Snippets são blocos de códigos prontos que irá realizar alguma funcionalidade. Um tipo de atalho (auto completar do Sublime text 3)

Acesse o site que contem a lista completa de atalhos do Emmet.

Hi! It’s because you have created a new html file without saving it. Try to save it and them use the shortcut html + tab. Hope it helps!

On the bottom right of your Sublime screen you can click on it to choose the application. When my Html + Tab quit working, it was because it had somehow changed to Text mode. I flipped it back to HTML and it is now working fine.

Hello. It works just fine on Sublime Text 3. Change the extension to html (on the right-most corner below). Then type in <html and press tab.

Hi. I had the same problem before and I realized one thing. HTML+TAB It doesn’t work if you haven’t saved your file yet in my case as .html. Of course you’re creating a new html document, it make sense that you haven’t saved it yet until you’ve type few codes. But sublime text may not recognized what type of file you’re creating yet and so it’s not sure if html+tab is applicable. But as soon as you saved it to .html, then html+tab will work. No need to do changes in settings.

Hope this helps.

Well: it is so easy.
Write: " !DOCTYPE html " & bang the ENTER button.
