I have Web Essentials 2015.2 installed.

When I, for instance, type "div" and then hit tab, it just selects the following block of html rather than adding a div tag. No zen coding features are working.

I'm using VS 2015 Pro Update 3 RC (version 14.0.25402.00) and the .NET Core Tools (Preview 1) and wonder if some of this is just not compatible?

I also have ReSharper installed, which I understand frequently interferes with shortcuts. Could that be it?

I have no clue what other info to include. Questions welcome if my problem solution are not obvious...

Problem is web essentials plugin.

Solution: Go to Visual Studio Marketplace. Type in Zencoding all one word and install the first plug in.

Or install it on Visual Studio (works perfectly with 2017) - Tools -Extensions & Updates - Online - zencoding. Close VS and restart.

It must be some bug with resharper because I couldnt get zen coding to work on web essentials plugin.
