The Missing Tab Completion for VS Code

Redefine tab by quickly trigger a word-completion or snippet. No need to pop an annoying suggest menu!

• If the cursor is at the beginning of line, the tab key works as the original tab.
• If the cursor is beside or inside a word, insert in-file word completion.
• If the cursor is after a word and a SPACE, try expand a snippet.

In-file word completion mimics TextMate's Esc completion, so it can complete:

• prefix
• infix
• suffix

And, shift+tab will cycle back previous word.

Commands

• hypertab.tab -- tab
• hypertab.tab.back -- shift+tab

Development

npm i
npm run deploy
