How to make auto-suggestions as you type.

Open wxguy opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

I am finding a strange behaviour of this plugin. I am working on markdown (jekyll bog post) file in which I expect this plugin to provide suggestions as I type. It is happening in the meta data section (--- to ---) in the begining of file. However, when I start writing in the main section it does not provide any suggestion at all. I have to either press ctrl + space or tab to invoke suggestions.

In the Python file, it does not provide suggestion at all. After editing the config file with following options:-

{"auto_complete_selector": "text, comment, string, text.html.markdown, source.python"}

it does provide suggestion but within quote only.

Is it an intended behaviour? or is there any option to make it auto suggest as I type?

@wxguy From what you're describing, it doesn't seem like the problem is related to this plugin directly. The plugin is responsible for filling the list with suggestions, but it does not control when or how Sublime Text triggers the auto-suggestions. That behavior is managed by Sublime’s internal autocomplete mechanism.
