Have you installed a VS Code extension, and if so which one?

[patnan]

I'm relying on the built in Emmed plugin

I'm using Theia IDE v 1.45.0

I added this to the settings:

"emmet.includeLanguages": {
    "javascript": "javascriptreact"
}

Does it work in VS Code? I have seen several people having problems wit this, e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50750263/trying-to-use-emmet-with-a-react-app-in-vs-code

"unfortunately" it works in VSCode.

I can take a look!

I opened #13630 as a fix. The issue was with the activation event of the extension.
