Emmet "Wrap with Abbreviation" opens wrong panel instead of input dialog (extension, and built in). #3023
Description
Describe the bug
Description:
Triggering Emmet's "Wrap with Abbreviation" no longer opens the expected floating input dialog for entering an HTML tag/abbreviation. Instead, a small docked panel opens at the bottom of the editor (screenshot attached). This previously worked correctly in an earlier version of Phoenix Code.
I have tried uninstalling the emmet extension, re-assigning key-bindings, turning the built-in emmet on and off, and reinstalling the emmet extension.
Reproduction
- Open a .php file containing HTML markup
- Select/highlight a block of text
- Trigger "Wrap with Abbreviation" (via menu or keyboard shortcut)
- Instead of the abbreviation input prompt, a small bottom-docked panel appears and takes focus
Expected behavior
A small pop-up dialog should appear with the default set html tag, and the ability to override this with current wanted tag if not the default (as per usual emmet behavior).
OS, Browser and Phoenix versions
- Phoenix Code Version: 5.1.24 (20260528.161450)
- OS: macOS (26.5.2)
- File type: .php (HTML-like content)
logs or debug stack trace if any

Hey @x572b, sorry about the issue. Phoenix Code no longer supports the Emmet extension.
Phoenix already has built-in Emmet support: here's the link to the docs https://docs.phcode.dev/docs/Features/emmet.
We are aware that some really useful commands from the extension, like "Wrap with Abbreviation," are still missing.
We're working on bringing those back, and hopefully we'll have full-fledged Emmet support ready in the August release!
