Re-enable intellisense

Up till yesterday, WebStorm would assist me in completing html and less values with intellisense. For example, it would help to auto complete paths to images or other files, or class names from the css file.

I am fairly certain I must have triggered a keyboard shortcut to disable it, but not sure what it could be or where in the menu system it would be found. The closest option I have found is under Code > Completion But I cannot seem to toggle either Basic or Smart Type off or on. Not even sure its the right menu option...

Anyway, anyone know how I can re-enable code completion?

Things to check:

Preferences | Editor | General | Code Completion: is 'Autopopup code completion' enabled?

File | Power Save mode: is it off?

Plus, looks like you have removed shortcut for basic completion - check Preferences | Keymap, Main menu | Code | Completion | Basic

Thanks for the list of things to check. I ran through them and it appears that everything checks out. Screenshots below where applicable.

So follow up question. If I were to launch WebStorm holding down Cmd + Option + Shift to reset the preferences, will it also delete my live templates? I have a handful of them I would rather not loose. I did not see an option to export them. Is there a safer method of resetting any preferences that I may have messed up?

To reset WebStorm preferences to default, you have to remove the following folders:

rm -rf “~/Library/Preferences/WebStorm2017.1″
rm -rf “~/Library/Caches/WebStorm2017.1″
rm -rf “~/Library/Application Support/WebStorm2017.1″
rm -rf “~/Library/Logs/WebStorm2017.1″

Note that all your IDE-wide settings, including Live Templates, will be lost.

You can export your preferences prior to removing folders via File | Export settings: select the items you'd like to preserve, then, after starting with fresh configuration, choose File | Import settings to import them back
