autocomplete box doesn't suggest previously used attributes (HTML Syntax)

Whenever I use attributes like "data-*" or "placeholder" in HTML documents, they don't get remembered so when I want to use them again in the same document, the suggestion box doesn't display them. It used to work fine in ST2, now in ST3 it's just not there.

I am not sure if there's a special setting for autocomplete, but I couldn't find it... so if I'm missing some special setting, please let me know what it is.

They are actively exlcuded from the completions via Packages/HTML/html_completions.py, which provides the context-aware HTML completions in the first place.

You can fix this locally by installing PackageResourceViewer, running the "Open Resource" command, browsing HTML/html_completions.py and then replacing line 137 with

return (completion_list, sublime.INHIBIT_EXPLICIT_COMPLETIONS)

(that is, no sublime.INHIBIT_WORD_COMPLETIONS).

Downside: If this file receives updates in any future build you will not receive them since you are overriding the file.

Thank you!

Update: for the same reason that words in the buffer are not displayed, completions or snippets are not either.
