Completion rules by tab do not work

[daedaless]

Hi. I'm on macOS 10.12. I try to, for example, use the toggle completion rule by doing "tg" and then tab tab, but get no result.

Thanks.

Make sure "tab_completion": true in settings.

[daedaless]

I turned it on, but I get another issue where Sublime Text predicts what I'm going to type if I press TAB. "tg" works, but something like "c" won't.

[vovkkk]

After you pressed tab and get wrong/unexpected result, you can press tab again to replace it with next match, or press ctrl+space to see list of all matches.

[daedaless]

No, I cannot. Pressing tab again just loads through the list of suggested words by Sublime Text, and ctrl+space launches Siri or asks if it can be enabled on macOS.

[vovkkk]

Do you use some autocomplete plugins? they usually break sublime-completions file which is used in PT.

Rebind ctrl+space to some other keys in user keybindings files:

	{ "keys": ["ctrl+space"], "command": "auto_complete" },
	{ "keys": ["ctrl+space"], "command": "replace_completion_with_auto_complete", "context":
		[
			{ "key": "last_command", "operator": "equal", "operand": "insert_best_completion" },
			{ "key": "auto_complete_visible", "operator": "equal", "operand": false },
			{ "key": "setting.tab_completion", "operator": "equal", "operand": true }
		]
	},

[daedaless]

I don't think I am using any autocomplete plugins. These are my plugins.

I rebinded it to ctrl+I and get this pop-up when I use it.

[vovkkk]

You are definitely using some plugin which mess up completions, because ST does not show file names, it shows trigger on the left and result on the right

It's probably All Autocomplete, I had the same problem.

Add in the All Autocomplete settings:

"exclude_from_completion": [
     "todo"
]

[aeperfilev]

I confirming the same problem on SublimeText for Windows:

1. After reloading Sublime during 2-3 second I still can use autocomplete, but after then it's breaking.
2. Also I can't see autocompletes on Ctrl+Space after 2-3 seconds.

On the GIF showns:

1. Loading SublimeText
2. After loading I press TAB key some times.
3. At the first time TAB works fine - used autocomplete
4. After then it works simply as tab symbol

I think ther is problem on PlainTasks plugin, because on Console window I see that this is the last plugin that's loaded in SublimeText:

reloading plugin PlainTasks.APlainTasksCommon
reloading plugin PlainTasks.PlainTasks
reloading plugin PlainTasks.PlainTasksDates
reloading plugin PlainTasks.PlainTasksToHTML
reloading plugin PlainTasks.plist_parser
plugins loaded

[aeperfilev]

I have no All Autocomplete plugin, as pointed above.

Full list of packages on my SublimeText in order of loading (from console):

May be you have idea about which plugin can influence on autocomplete.

[vovkkk]

In console execute sublime.log_commands(True) then try in some PT doc:

c, tab output in console must be

command: insert_best_completion {"default": "\t", "exact": false}

ctrl+space

command: replace_completion_with_auto_complete

enter, enter, ctrl+space

command: auto_complete

[aeperfilev]

@vovkkk

Console output is:

command: plain_tasks_new
command: insert_best_completion {"default": "\t", "exact": false}
command: auto_complete
command: insert {"characters": "\n"}
command: insert {"characters": "\n"}
command: auto_complete

But still not work.

[vovkkk]

I cannot find Tag package on Package Control, where you got it?

Please, show output of execution in console

import sublime_plugin, pprint; pprint.pprint(sublime_plugin.all_callbacks.get('on_query_completions'))

[aeperfilev]

It was Cucumber package conflict.

I disabled this plugin and all work fine now.

[MormonJesus69420]

I know it's an old topic, but in my case the package that caused the completion to break was Typescript​Completion. Replacing it with TypeScript solved my issue!

[davdent]

Thanks for these exchanges. I had a similar problem and it was the Citer package that was in conflict. Removing it solved my problem.
