How to turn off HTML auto complete - driving me nuts

[MartinJacksonUK]

New to Cursor - First Post

So I’m writing html.

I like the fact that Cursor auto completes the closing tag, for the various elements H1, H2 etc… however, the insertion of suggested text between the tags is driving me insane.

I’ve tried updating the user preferences JSON file but this doesn’t seem to have worked.

{
“liveServer.settings.donotShowInfoMsg”: true,
“liveServer.settings.donotVerifyTags”: true,
“editor.wordWrap”: “on”,
“emmet.showSuggestionsAsSnippets”: false,
“html.autoClosingTags”: true,
“html.suggest.html5”: false
}

An suggestions would be appreciated.

Peace!

This works due the Cursor Tab feature I think.

I wouldn’t recommend turning it off as it’s usually super helpful.

You could try adding HTML files to .cursorignore, which also I wouldn’t recommend.

I don’t think there’s a way to turn off Cursor tabs only on specific file types.

You could snooze or disable Cursor Tab as you need maybe and switch it back on when you need it back.

hope this helps!

Hey, you can disable Cursor Tab for certain files if you don’t want it to autocomplete your code.

"cursor.cpp.disabledLanguages": ["html"]
