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.

generic_text_editor_1

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

generic_text_editor_2

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

expected_1
expected_2

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

Research direction

Start by reproducing the described CTRL+Space and ENTER steps in the Generic Text Editor, then compare its behavior with the default HTML Editor. Done means HTML proposals and snippets appear for tags such as div, table, and span, and accepting a proposal automatically closes the tag.
