Description
The WWD Generic Text Editor does not show some HTML proposals.
For example, after typing div and press CTRL + Space, only hear a sound like "invalid command" but nothing happens.

After typing <div and press CTRL + SPACE, shows one proposal but after press ENTER no auto closes this tag.

Apparently, these features are implemented on default HTML editor called "HTML Editor", for example, for cases above on this editor.


The same problem occurs for any other tags, like table, span... , the Generic Text Editor also not show code snippets for these tags.
