[BUG] tab auto-completion doesn't work

Google Antigravity
1

Hello,

I am new the Antigravity and installing the version 1.16.5.

To complete a suggestion while typing, I tried to press Tab, but it doesn’t work.

However, it works with Enter or Shift-Tab.

Is it a bug? If not, how can I reconfigure to use Tab for auto-completion?

Thanks!

PS: I tried to downgrade to older version 1.14.5, but it doesn’t fix the issue.

I found another shortcut that doesn’t work: `Ctrl+Shift+.` (Focus and Select Breadcrumbs).

I hope it doesn’t mean that the whole Antigravity keyboard shortcut system has issue.

Found many issues reported from others. Switch back to official vscode with claude code. Temporary goodbye Antigravity, wait for 6 months to check antigravity again.

This works for me

  1. Open Keyboard Shortcuts:

    • Press Cmd + K, then Cmd + S (Mac) or Ctrl + K, then Ctrl + S (Windows/Linux)

    • Or, click on the gear icon (on the top right), then choose “Open Keyboard Shortcuts“

  2. Locate the Command:

    • Search for acceptSelectedSuggestion

    • Look for the entry bound to the Tab key

  3. Edit the “When” Expression:

    • Right-click the entry and select Change When Expression

    • Replace the existing text (which might say inDebugRepl) with exactly this:

      suggestWidgetVisible && textInputFocus

    • Press Enter

  4. Verify:

    • Open a code file, trigger a suggestion, and press Tab. It should now complete the word immediately
