[Bug: VS Code Snippets] When inserting a snippet, Pressing TAB inserts a Tab Space instead of moving the Focus to next Edit Position in snippet

[ashuvssut]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.63.2
• OS Version: Windows 10 21H2

ISSUE

Suppose I inserted a snippet

Now my focus is on Position 1.

When I press Tab, instead of Moving my focus to Position 2, the editor inserts a Tab Space in Position 1
Whats Expected? Instead of inserting a Tab Space in Position 1, move the focus of the cursor to Position 2

I have found a work around. when entering snippet, explicitly turn on Tab Moves Focus mode by pressing Ctrl + M.
But I think VS Code should automatically enter into Tab Moves Focus mode when inserting snippets and automatically turn off Tab Moves Focus mode when editing the snippet is over

Please share the snippet and make your keybindings.json file. It's likely that you or an extension have reconfigured what Tab does. Best is to start so: code --user-data-dir ~/Desktop/test1-data --extensions-dir ~/Desktop/test1-ext

Thankyou @jrieken for the hint. ISSUE SOLVED!

in keybindings.json there was keybinding that I once created to use with VS Code Vim,
{ "key": "tab", "command": "tab", "when": "editorTextFocus && !editorTabMovesFocus" },
I guess I have to think of an alternative to this😅
