ME: 2.7rc1

BEHAVIOR REQUEST:
When typing out a tag and you hit CTRL-SPACE for autocomplete, would it be hard to add the option of NOT putting the cursor between the open and close tags by default? For example, when adding an action entry, there are quite a few attributes that need to be specified always, let alone the forwards that go inside of it. Maybe something like this:
<action>|</action>
do this:
<action |></action>

It allows me to keep tying without hitting the back arrow to go back into the tag.

I suppose this is more a behavioral preference, so could this be a choice? “XML Autocomplete Behavior: Place cursor inside tag”

BUG:
When you type:
<action |

the autocomplete list that shows is different from the autocomplete list that shows when you type:

<action |/>

This is weird, why? I was looking around for the “name” attribute of my action and couldn’t find it until I closed my tag, then all the sudden it was there. Maybe I’m just doing something wrong.

COMMENT:
I noticed that your xml autocomplete ALSO completes enumerated types (like booleans), awesome job!

Thanks!

Good suggestion.

I couldn’t reproduce this one. I got 16 attributes either way. I’m not sure what you’re seeing or why at this point. Hmmm…..

Glad you’re enjoying it. 🙂

Ok if you can’t reproduce go ahead and close it. If anything is on my end I’ll find it <punching fist into palm>

I’m counting on it. But I’m closing it for now. 🙂
