I am a new user of sublime. I recently moved from vscode to get the faster using experience in sublime. But one thing in sublime really depressed me. There is no other autocompletion package works in my sublime except for sublime code intel. With other packages, I can not be able to get the autocomplete popup when I type.

So that's why I need to stay with only sublime code intel. The problem with the package is I get auto complete popup when I even type space or semicolon (;). Which is really disturbing. There is one solution to get rid of it. Either pressing shift + enter or escape key. It is really annoying. Can anyone help me with it, pls.

N.B. I am using sublime text 4 in Linux. Also, I have read some previous questions but can not be able to get the solution.

I've found the way to disable semicolons popup by edit setting.auto_complete_selector.

"meta.tag, source - punctuation.terminator - comment - string.quoted.double.block - string.quoted.single.block - string.unquoted.heredoc"

The trick is adding - punctuation.terminator after source selector. This will remove semicolons from the auto_complete_selector according to the doc of Selector and the doc of scope_naming.

I had the same issue, there are plenty auto-completes including the default auto complete which comes with sublime.

You can actually remove code-intel and just use all auto-complete along side with the default auto-complete and LSP and if you have any question feel free to ask on the official discord https://discord.gg/D43Pecu

ST4 introduced context aware autocompletion so you don't need anything else. It's good enough and fast.But if you are a fan of autocomplete that vscode provides then you can use -----

  1. LSP - https://packagecontrol.io/packages/LSP
  2. LSP-typescript - https://packagecontrol.io/packges/LSP-typescript
  3. LSP-HTML - https://packagecontrol.io/packages/LSP-html
  4. LSP-Css - https://packagecontrol.io/packages/LSP-css
  5. LSP-Json - https://packagecontrol.io/packages/LSP-json
  6. LSP-eslint - https://packagecontrol.io/packages/LSP-eslint

If you don't have a powerful machine then I would advice you to not use LSP because it creates a node runtime in the background and that might eat up all your resources. Anyways I feel that ST4 native autosuggestion are good enough. But LSP is much more than an autocomplete engine. So you know, it just depends on your use case.

Personally I prefer using LSP and disabling it's autocomplete suggestions because it takes like 5 seconds for it to suggest something every time I press a key, while ST4 completions are near about instant.

You can also go to Sublime text forum - https://forum.sublimetext.com/ If you have any queries.

Sublime​Code​Intel - https://packagecontrol.io/packages/SublimeCodeIntel was last updated 4 years ago. 4 years is like a decade in web development so I doubt you'll get anything good enough from that package.

All Autocomplete - https://packagecontrol.io/packages/All%20Autocomplete was last updated 2 years ago.

Note - Don't forget to set your language on the right side of your status bar. Otherwise auto completion and syntax highlighting will not work properly. For example, if you are writing jsx then select jsx and not javascript, if you are using tsx then select tsx not typescript. That goes for all the other options.

You can send me an email if you need any other assistance - connect@surajmishra.dev

Edit - I just realized this answer does not covers the asked question but I am still going to keep it up in case someone else finds it useful.
