Hey,

I'm using live templates in Python with Pycharm and they work fine. I'm trying to enable some for HTML but I can't seem to get it to work:

 

And yes the context is set:

 

And the page an HTML file created by Pycharm using it's context menu:



Nothing is proposed. But I'm clearly in an HTML file, so in the right context, and I'm typing the beginning of a template abbreviation? What am I missing?

In fact, the html auto-complete doesn't seem great:


Doesn't produce <div></div> but only auto-completes the word "div" to <div

Is the issue with my auto-complete setup?

try hitting Ctrl+Space - can you see your template in completion? Snippets are not auto-completed in HTML, as it's not clear if you are entering a snippet or a plain text.  Showing auto-completion when you just type some text would be very annoying.

choosing tag name from completion doesn't apply a live template; you can enter tag name and hit Tab to have it expanded with Emmet, the IDE supports basic abbreviations as well as expanding sequences.
