Some Emmet abbreviations in VSC not working, like '!' or using '*'

Every other snippet is working, but !+tab is not.

! snippet is not working

other snippet is working

I am using Visual Studio Code. I'm using 1.69.0. It was working before, but I wanted to add net html file, named that new.html, because I had index.html already. After that this script stopped working on every html file, but other scripts like "a", "div" etc. is working.

The v1.69.2 recovery release is out now. Emmet in html is working as it should for me now.

Looks like it will be in the Recovery Release, see https://github.com/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3Acandidate+repo%3Amicrosoft%2Fvscode+repo%3Amicrosoft%2Fvscode-internalbacklog+repo%3Amicrosoft%2Fvscode-remote-release+milestone%3A%22June+2022+Recovery+2%22+.

Don't know when the recovery release to Stable - presumably v1.69.2 - will be released. The .1 release is out and the fix is not in it.

It has been fixed though, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/154375, and should be in the Insiders Build tomorrow (07/13/2022).

Testing the latest Insiders: ! is working. As is ul>li*3 type expansions (although that never stopped working for me - but it has been reported elsewhere). Should be in the v1.69.2 release out soon.

It is a known issue with the v1.69 release, see html emmet suggestion not automatically display or https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/154517 for example. Lots of issues on github on ! and * not working.

So the emmet snippet will not appear automatically when you type !, but you can press Ctrl/Cmd+Space (which is the command Trigger Suggest) to make it appear and select normally.

Try Ctrl/Cmd+Space for anything emmet-related nnnnnot working in vscode v1.69.

You could also go back to v1.68 to solve the issue.
