[ jEdit-users ] how to turn off auto-complete?

[Chris P. <li...@fo...>]

I'm constantly bitten by jedit trying to auto-complete values for me  
when I edit css files.  I have both a feature request, and a question.

First, if I recall correctly, the auto-complete option is stored in  
the mode file -- does anyone know what it is so I can turn it off for  
css files, if not globally in all of jedit (I generally type faster  
than it takes to wait for and then navigate the little menu)?

Second, most of my annoyance with the auto-complete is that it ignores  
content to the right of the cursor, such that (assuming | is my  
cursor) if I am set up like this, trying to adjust indent levels:

#id {
     color:    #abc;
     width:|5px;
}

If I linger for more than about half a second before pressing tab to  
try to indent the "5px" bit, I end up with "percentage5px" and no tab  
(happens to be the first option in the tab-complete list).  It would  
be really nice if the tab-complete honored content to the right of the  
cursor, or didn't activate at all if the cursor is followed by a \w  
character.

Code completion for CSS is controlled by the SideKick plugin.  Go to 
Plugins -> Plugin Options -> SideKick -> General, then uncheck the boxes 
in the Code Completion section.  This will turn off code completion for 
all SideKick parsed languages.  I think code completion only works for 
XML, HTML, CSS, and Java files at the moment, and this will turn off 
code completion for all of them at once.  There are other code 
completion plugins, so you might have one of those turned on, but I 
would suspect it's the SideKick plugin that you're looking for.

Hope this helps,

Dale

I often use awk mode in conjunction with the ctags parser provided by 
CtagsSidekick plugin. AFAIK the CtagsSidekick plugin does not provide a 
special completion service (?). But I get completion popups with both 
the built-in action "complete-word" and the Sidekick's action 
"sidekick-complete".

Both popups are providing the tokens of the edit mode file. The built-in 
action additionally provides all other words that exist in the current 
buffer.

So it seems, that the Sidekick plugin provides the tokens of the edit 
mode file for completion, if there is no special completion service.
