"<" stays there hanging after running a snippet about bs3-sublime-plugin

[JasonMortonNZ]

Hey guys, I've been stumped by the issue for a long time. There's a setting in Sublime called auto_complete_triggers and by default it's set to "auto_complete_triggers": [ {"selector": "text.html", "characters": "<"} ]. I believe this is the root cause of the '<' remaining.

Unfortunately I can't find much (any) info in the Sublime docs in order to work out if there's a potential fix for this, but as a solution I updated the setting to this:

"auto_complete_triggers": [{"selector": "text.html", "characters": "<"},{"selector": "text.html", "characters": "bs3"}]

Hope that helps guys. Bootstrap 4 snippets is under way an will be released soon :)

Really nice plugin, but this issue get's very annoying.

[JasonMortonNZ]

I'm looking in to this issue now guys. Can I get you to provide some more info:

1. What versions of Sublime your running?
2. What OS are you using?
3. Do you have the old Zen Coding plugin installed or the HTML5 plugin? (Both those plugins have been known to mess with snippets.)
4. Are you typing "<bs3-" to trigger the snippets of "bs3-"?

Also if you could execute sublime.log_commands(True) in the sublime console. This will log what commands are ran and should help narrow down the plug-in causing the issue. Let me know your results.

Thanks for getting back dude!

1. Sublime Text 3 Build 3083 - Portable
2. Windows 7 Enterprise x64, Windows 8.1 Pro x64
3. Plugins Installed: Emmet, AlignTab, HTML Minifier, Markdown Preview, SASS Build, Sass
4. I type "<bs3" and then select from the auto dropdown.

The console just outputs: "command: comit_completion". after I type "<bs3", select and hit Enter.

I just removed the Emmet plugin and tried, but same result.

I had the same problem on a Mac running OS X 10.10.5

The work-around was posted in a previous Issue. When I type "bs3" (without the leading "<") and press control + space, I get the dropdown menu. I can now click or use my cursor to select the desired snippet. Tab autocompletes properly, without an extra "<"

1. Sublime Text 3 build 3083
2. Mac OS X 10.10.5
3. Plugins: Emmet, Markdown Preview, Package Control, PyV8, SassBeautify, SFTP, SublimeLinter, SublimeLinter-jshint
4. Typing "<bs", "<bs3" or "<bs3-" and either pressing tab or clicking a selection in the dropdown menu

If I press tab on the default selection, console logs:
'command: insert_best_completion {"default": " ", "exact": false}'
If I click on the selection in the dropdown menu, it changes to "exact":true

Sometimes it also logs cursor moves and command: left_delete, depending on the length of the selection. However, command: left_delete does not appear to remove the leading angle bracket

I have the same problem on Mac too. I didn't know about the ctrl + space key shortcut. It solves the issue pretty much for me. Thank you!

[anburocky3]

Thank you @benhulan that was a great shortcut! Helpful :) .. By the way please solve that < (symbol)..
Waiting for the updates :)

I had the same problem on my Windows 8, but I found a work-around that works for both Sublime 2 and Sublime 3.

You can trigger the snippet shortcut by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Space, this will launch the command palette, and you can just type "bs3" and you get the dropdown menu. Then you can just click it or press enter to insert the selected snippet, without an extra "<".

More advanced option:
Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Space will only launch the command palette. If you want it to launch the command palette and automatically apply a filter for snippets only, you can add this line to Preferences > Key-Bindings - User:

{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+."], "command": "show_overlay", "args": {"overlay": "command_palette", "text": "Snippet: "}}

Then you can just press Ctrl+Shift+. to launch the snippet command.
Of course, you can change the shortcut key to any that you like, like "ctrl+y" etc.

More Info on my problem:

1. Sublime 3, Build 3083
2. Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter
3. No, it's a clean install of Sublime 3, but I have 2 other Sublime packages, "Laravel 5 Snippets", and "laravel-bootstrap-snippets".
4. Yes, I typed "<bs3-" to trigger the snippets. But there was an extra "<" that appeared when I pressed enter.

Thanks for the awesome plugin!

I am having the same problem. Any updates on this issue?

I am having the same problem. Any updates on this issue?

[MartinHaun]

Same issue here

In the default sublime.setting i can see there's already a trigger for '<', which remains even if i uninstall this package. Perhaps that's causing the issue?

[raedlime]

Same here!

[raedlime]

awesome! works pretty fine for me!

[ish3lan]

Took me a while to understand why it is working with every one but me!

After adding
"auto_complete_triggers": [{"selector": "text.html", "characters": "<"},{"selector": "text.html", "characters": "bs3"}]
to Sublime User Settings.

use bs3 without <. that is (e.g. bs3-form instead of <bs3-form ) and the auto complete will work
