I've created some custom HTML snippets - copied right from MSDN tutorials. When on a .cshtml page I can find the snippet (it shows up when typing) but tab-tab doesn't do anything. The standard HTML snippets work just fine like a, audio, etc. No errors in the console. Please advise!

Hello @Doug,
Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.
Try to use legacy Razor editor(Tools > Options > Text Editor > HTML > Advanced > Razor > Use legacy Razor editor for ASP.NET Core(requires restart) > set this option to True > restart VS) and test again.
I can reproduce this issue on my side with VS 2022. I see that the same/similar issue was reported before, see this ticket:
and this ticket:
Snippets don’t work in Razor Editor
The first ticket is not closed, some features of the Razor Editor are still improving. Please either use the legacy Razor Editor currently, or kindly follow the ticket/submit a new ticket(GitHub - dotnet/razor).
BTW, following is a screenshot which I used the legacy Razor Editor to test(the Square Root is a simple custom code snippet that mentioned in this document: Walkthrough: Create a code snippet in Visual Studio).
Thanks for your understanding, have a nice day :)
Sincerely,
Tianyu

Hmmm. I appreciate the response - but that means I need to make all of my snippets lang="CSharp" for them to work, and then the leading @ still exists as well. I no longer have any of the built-in HTML snippets either using this legacy editor. I think reinstalling VS2019 is probably a better solution
@Doug I don’t think that all the built-in HTML snippets don’t work(in VS 2022, with the legacy editor).
I do a quick test and set the language to HTML, Looks, it works correctly. Would suggest you try to do some tests too, if it’s possible, on your side.
Anyway, it’s true that the new editor still has some limitations and needs to be improved :D
Happy coding!
Regards,
Tianyu
