Disable Code Assist in Aptana Studio 3

Question

Is there any way to disable code assist in Aptana Studio 3? It is driving me absolutely insane! It changes things I don't want changed, it just overall gets in the way of my workflow. It was never a problem until the most recent update and ever since that update it's been much more aggressive in it's "assisting." I just want to be able to write the code myself without it messing me up.

Answer 1

The issue you are referring to is most likely resolved in the beta of 3.0.4, but if you need to turn code assist off, I would suggest:

a) Preferences > Aptana > Editors (main node)

b) Preferences > Aptana > Editors > JavaScript (for example) and check the activation triggers. You may wish to remove "(" and "." for example.

To Caldwell,

The thing that you have mention is called Content Asisst. It will show a code-assist when you typing a code related to HTML/CSS.

To disable Content Assist in Aptana Studio 3 is : Choose Window in the main menu ( menu avaiable on top) → Preferences → Choose Aptana Studio → Content Assist → Look at the Auto-display content asisst then you will see the drop down menu at besides, then click drop-down menu choose Off instead of Default delay.

That's all. Thank you

Found this article trying to turn off the auto-complete of quotes and html tags. This feature is called auto-close. It can be turned off in Windows by going to Window -> Preferences -> Aptana Studio -> Editors. Here there is a "Typing" section of options. Unchecking "Auto-close matching character pairs" and "Wrap selected text with matching characters" did the trick for me.
