Why can't I select HTML intellisense options in Visual Studio 2019 (in an ASP.NET Core Project, looking at a cshtml file)?

Question

When I start typing in a cshtml file Visual Studio 2019, if I start with a < then type, I see intellisense options but cannot select them as normal (either by TAB then space or by clicking on them) - why is this? See screenshot below.

Intellisense is appearing but I cannot select it

My project is an ASP.NET Core one.

Thanks

Make sure you do not have CTRL+M Enabled as this causes tab not to work! make sure to check this and this may fix your isse.

if this is not the case, then make sure your key is correctly bound. you can do this by: Going to Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard

-> Find Edit.InvokeSnippetFromShortcut -> remove TAB from this and use another shortcut key
