Disabling Emmet doesnt stop some of the Emmet commands from showing up

[WORMSS]

I would like to disable Emmet.. And I mean, Disable ALL of it..
As if it's not in VS code at all..

It just pollutes the commands list.

If Emmet was an extension, I could just uninstall it.. but it seems to be built in and not able to remove it.

@WORMSS, If you open the extensions tab and type @builtin to the search box, Emmet is a built in extension that will appear and you can disable it in a specific workspace or entirely:

Ahh, thank you @lannonbr I had no idea you could list the built in..

The irony, now that I know extensions can show extra stuff. I have noticed the ... dots to list everything.. I am sorry I feel so dumb..

[WORMSS]

@lannonbr it seems it doesn't disable it enough..
2 commands are still added.. And if you try to call them, they throw an error..

@octref The 2 commands in https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/58600#issuecomment-421003237 are contributed by the core and not the built-in extensions.

Since extensions have no way of knowing the language under the cursor, we use the core command Emmet: Expand Abbreviation to figure out the language and then call the corresponding command from the built-in extension. This was done to avoid regression when we moved the Emmet features out to an extension.

The way to fix this bug is for the core to somehow figure out that the built-in extension is disabled, and then disable the above 2 commands

Why is Emmet even built-in anyway? I doubt even 10% of VS Code users use it.

Verifier:

1. Disable the Emmet extension
2. Open the command palette and search for Emmet commands

Ensure no Emmet commands show in the results

Lol @WORMSS you're too fast. The issue is currently labelled as "unreleased". Please wait for the next Insiders release tomorrow, after the bot labels the issue as "insiders-released".

[rzhao271]

Is the issue resolved for you now? You'll need to download the Insiders version to verify the fix: https://code.visualstudio.com/insiders/

Seems like moving the Expand Abbreviation command from workbench to Emmet broke keybinding precedence, so I'll have to revert this change for now.

I think vscode has reached a point were removing features is better than adding them. Emmet being one of them 😄
