In Sublime, typing <tab> after colon causes 'key => "value"' to appear, why?

Question

In Sublime (I'm using Sublime 3), typing after a colon causes the text 'key => "value"' to appear.

This is an annoying behaviour.

I merely want to indent the text after the colon.

Why is this happening (it must have some key binding as a shortcut)? And how do I remove this behaviour?

Thank you

Answer 1

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Install PackageResourceViewer
2. In the command palette type "prv", select "PackageResourceViewer: Open Resource"
3. Select your language e.g. "JavaScript"
4. Select: "Snippets/"
5. Select the 'offender': "Object-key-key-value.sublime-snippet"
6. Comment out (use XML/HTML comments, <!-- -->, as it is an XML) or just delete the line containing: <tabTrigger>:</tabTrigger>
7. Save

As it's a built in package (as @sergioFC said), you will need to extract the file and create an override. Alternatively, use https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/PackageResourceViewer to open the file, and remove the tab trigger. Upon saving it will place the override file in the proper location.
