After a recent update of either Visual Studio 2022 or R#, now when I'm in the xaml editor and I press the tab key, the snippets dialog pops up.

This is new behaviour, and is incredibly annoying. Can I stop it?

I've searched the settings and the kep mappings, and tried various internet searches, but can't find any specific fixes.

When I press the tab key, I expect the editor to insert a tab character into my document.

What actually happens is that I press the tab key, and the code snippets menu will pop up. If I press the tab key again, it vanishes.

Screen shot as requested after pressing Tab

Same thing, but Ctrl K X

  • do you have copilot installed or any other intellisense ? Commented Oct 8, 2024 at 6:19
  • Did you check shortcuts for Edit.InsertSnippet under Options? Commented Oct 9, 2024 at 11:03
  • I have checked the Edit.InsertSnippet under options. This is still set to Ctrl K X as normal. The snippets shown when I press Tab in a xaml file are NOT the same as the snippets shown when I press Ctrl K X. Commented Oct 9, 2024 at 12:52
  • Pressing Ctrl K X inany xaml file shows me: 'Expansion: Snippets', but pressing 'Tab' shows 'Multiple Snippets' with my CS file snippets displayed. Commented Oct 9, 2024 at 12:52
  • Looks like what you described is Intellisense complete Word Suggestions not code snippets. If you expect the editor to insert a tab character when pressing the tab key, you can use the option to change the IntelliSense completion mode: Edit > IntelliSense > Switch between automatic and tab-only IntelliSense completion or shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+Space.

By default, Ctrl+K, X invokes code snippets menu in XAML file. Please check if you have set Tab as a shortcut to invoke code snippets to pop up.

Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard, type snipp in Show commands containing and find Edit.InsertSnippet.

You can assign other keyboards to InsertSnippet.

Besides, this doc XAML code snippets notes

We've enhanced IntelliSense so that it supports showing XAML snippets.

Looks like code snippets is a built-in in IntelliSense. I'm afraid there is no settings/options available to disable it.
