Change select key for intellisense back to tab

[pschomburg]

Version 2017.0.1 changed the intellisense/code hint selection button from tab to enter. Is there a way I can change it back?

[pziecina]

I don't think there is, as the tab key is now used for emmet, and there is no selection to turn emmet off.

You can turn Emmet off, you just can't change the "expand abbreviation" key away from Tab (Tab isn't allowed as a keyboard shortcut).

To disable Emmet, go to Edit > Preferences > Code Format and uncheck the Emmet option.

But will this change the selector back to tab?

Sorry, it won't.

Code hint selection has been Enter/Return for a few versions now.

EDIT: Ah, it was both (Tab or Enter/Return) in CC2015.

This could be a bug. It may be worth reporting under Help > Submit Bug Report/Feature Request
