St have auto complete buit-in for HTML and CSS?

[nomanux]

Do CSS and HTML have built-in auto-completion in sublime text? I uninstalled lsp plugins for html,css and type script still css and html giving auto completion just not the javascript.

I think CSS and HTML have auto-completion built-in in sublime text. and it works when I start to write and hit tab or start writing with angel brackets then it gives suggestions. (unless one other plugin I have installed doing it but I removed everything related to html/css/js/autocomplete.)

so if built-in autocomplete for CSS and HTML has all the tag suggestions I don’t even need LSP to install now. unless LSP provides some other features.

CSS (without LSP) and js (with LSP installed) are good – it suggests things without needing to hit ‘Tab’ or any other symbols.

Now I’m asking: How can I make HTML suggest things like CSS and JavaScript do, without extra keys?

Thanks. I need some clarification.
with what should I replace “python”?

Can these packages be used as-is, or do they require any additional configuration? If I clone the repository or download just the HTML/CSS package, where should I place the files inside the “Packages” folder? Also, how can I verify that they are functioning correctly and test them?
thanks.

They are builtin. That was what I mean to imply.

Again. Everything should be supplied in a proper context. If you insist to have everything suggested anywhere you may try to modify this part: https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages/blob/af68b026a8661268c4fcc4690b0d377c0eb4ea13/HTML/html_completions.py#L457-L497

Though I think emmet-ls will be your best try as in another similar post (LSP-html not working).

Thanks. I think using ‘tab’ is my best solution for now also the angel ‘<’ bracket.
as I have learned through trial and error. and also I can see that on this post.

Autocomplete not working at all with simple HTML

By latest version you mean 3211? Builtin auto completions complete tags only. It doesn’t provide attribute names atm. To complete those just type < followed by the first character of the tag you want. [Animation] You can also just type the tag name and hit tab key. [Animation] You can wrap existing text into tags by selecting it and pressing alt+shift+w [Animation] Note: tag name completion doesn’t work very perfect while editing wrapped tags. That has been fixed in ST4. Also a…

no matter what plugin or LSP I use for HTML it will not give recommendations without typing the ‘<’ bracket.
I’ll try to modify the config file. It would’ve been nice if it was easy to configure or even work out of the box-like code dose.
Thanks, dude. your help means a lot

You may manually trigger autocompletion. Not sure whether it helps but it’s an easy trial. Just ctrl+space. Or maybe cmd+space (?) for Mac machine.

yes, it does trigger autocompletion. and it will be easier than ‘<’ or tab. I wonder why there is no option where I don’t need to do any extra steps. I’m used to writing HTML on code this way.

I added this to my ‘Preferences > Settings’. Now, auto-complete triggers with every keystroke. using this for more than a week now, didn’t noticed any issues.

“auto_complete_triggers”: [
{
“characters”: “abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789<>/\”,
“selector”: “text.html”
