Tab instead of Enter to use code shortcuts?

[7ddgaming]

Hi everyone, I want to use Tab instead of Enter (default) to complete code shortcuts while typing like in VSCode. However, I can't find an option in Keyboard Mapping. I don't want to change Enter's primary function to go to the next line, which seems like the only setting in the Key-mapping setting. Also checked the JSON settings file and didn't see anything there, either, unless I missed something. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi @7ddgaming download the emmet extension from the extension store. If that is not what you want can you comment the exact thing to do when you press tab? Most likely the emmet extension should help.

Ah, you meant selecting using tab from the auto complete hint list instead of enter key?

If so, let me see if i can add that feature in the next release. Emmet only works for html files to do Emmet things.

Yep! I'm used to using Tab to do that from other software, but love Phoenix code. There are probably others that feel the same way too. Especially if they come from VSCode. I'll use AutoHotKey in the meantime. Thanks a lot and good luck with your extension!

Looks like its Good to add as a default behavior in phoenix itself. Thanks for the feature request.

@7ddgaming Fixed via #1816
This should be avilable as the default behaior in the next release (V3.9+).

If you want to make it working in the current release(releases less than 3.8.9), select menu File> Open Preferences File, then on the right at the end of the file phcode.json, add this text "insertHintOnTab": true like so and save:

Close the preferences by selecting no-split from the dropdown
