I love that I can tab through {}, [], (), etc. in Aptana but when I'm editing HTML and the existing node I'm currently editing is highlighted with the same light-grey border I inevitably try to step through it when I'm done by hitting tab and re-discover it doesn't work.
Am I missing a really obvious keyboard shortcut?
Shift+Enter will jump to the next line (while also adding a new line after the current one), but I don't think there is a shortcut to cycle past it normally.

If there's only one tab on an editor in VS Code, the default behavior is to close the editor right then and there.
Personally, and I think many others agree with me, this behavior is very annoying since the programmer would rather preserve the layout he or she created for the project's workspace.
How do I change this behavior?
I've found discussions on this topic, but all of the solutions do not seem to be the ideal one of simply leaving the editor open but empty. Most of them simply delete the related shortcuts, which seems to me like cutting your arm off just because you broke it.
Anyway, here are some useful links:
Superuser StackExchange: How to prevent VScode from closing editor when pressing ctrl+w with no tabs open?
Issue #54492: Remove CtrlCmd+W keybinding to close window when no editors are opened
The behavior of the shortcut ctrl+w is as-designed closing the application
Actually, VSCode 1.57 (May 2021) will change that:
Removed Cmd+W / Ctrl+W as keybinding to close window when no editor is opened
We have gotten feedback that users are frustrated when the window suddenly closes after having closed the last editor via rapid Cmd+W / Ctrl+W usages.
A quick poll in the team also revealed that many had the keybinding for closing a window unassigned, so we went ahead and removed Cmd+W / Ctrl+W as keybinding to close window when no editor is opened.
You can easily bring the keybinding back by configuring it as follows:
{
"key": "cmd+w", // use "ctrl+w" on windows
"command": "workbench.action.closeWindow",
"when": "!editorIsOpen && !multipleEditorGroups"
}
Note: on all platforms there is a dedicated assigned keybinding to close the window:
macOS: Cmd+Shift+W
Linux: Alt+F4
Windows: Alt+F4
If what you are looking for is to preserve empty groups as well as empty editor windows, there is an option in the preferences that gets you almost all of the way:
"workbench.editor.closeEmptyGroups": false
This has the effect that an editor group will stay open even if the last tab within it is closed.
but all of the solutions do not seem to be the ideal one of simply leaving the editor open but empty
Reddit has an answer providing you the ideal solution of leaving the editor open, but empty: close all tabs but leave editors open.
In brief, they suggest to use in rapid succession the "close all editors" and the "three column editor layout".
They suggest to create a macro like:
"macros": {
"closeAllTabs": [
"workbench.action.closeAllEditors",
"workbench.action.editorLayoutThreeColumns"
]
}
then bind it to a key combination. macrosRe is advised.
The behavior of the shortcut ctrl+w is as-designed closing the application, see #49023. It is advisable to remove the shortcut and cut the arm, since it is design to work like that. However, for version 1.43.1 a new comment was posted this year on a thread you linked. You might want to have a look at it as well.
For comparison:
In Sublime (and also Atom), if I press tab under a line of code that already has 4 tab spaces, Sublime will automatically jump to the same tab spacing of the previous line (4 tab spaces).
In VS Code – when trying to accomplish the same thing – tabs will fail to 'jump' to the previous line's spacing, and force me to manually press tab multiple times, instead of once.
Is there a work-around, or am I missing something?
Sublime, Atom - 1x tab press
VS Code - 4x tab press
If you add this to your settings, you'll be able to just type out the line without watching indentation and whenever you hit enter, vscode will indent that previously written line automatically:
"editor.formatOnType": true
I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but I thought I might as well share and hope this is a satisfying answer.
When I am typing in NetBeans 8.2, whether it is a HTML paragraph or something like an input field, this annoying auto-suggest feature keeps on popping up. It is really annoying when I try to press enter to start a new line as it will insert a load of code when I press enter, since 'Button' is automatically highlighted.
I've included a screenshot of the problem below...
How can I disable this autocorrect feature. I don't want to disable autoorrect for PHP or when actually setting up a HTML tag (so I want to use it in a situation like this... <input type="autocorrect displays here" />, but not when typing anything else).
Sorry if I haven't explained myself very well, I can't really think of a good way to describe my problem. Please, leave a commend if you need to know more.
Thanks :)
PS: I can't find any other answers on the internet because I don't know what this is called, since I want this specific auto-suggest to disappear, so please direct me to another answer and I'll delete this question if the answer is appropriate.
PPS: I think the palette may have something to do with it but I can't be sure.
I finally found the solution for this annoying problem:
Simply go to Tools/Palette/Code Clips and remove everything from Palette (all folders and items).
Now the problem is gone!
If you go into NetBeans > Tools > Options > Editor > Code Completion, you can check or uncheck "Auto Popup Completion Window" for whatever Languages you want.
If you move over to the Code Templates tab, you can also customize the specific autocomplete rules for each Language. That way, you can leave certain ones in that you find helpful and remove ones that you find bothersome.
Today I finally had enought of these * autocompletes in my * code.
Found my way thru Google to this question and found no comfort from the answers.
But this is how I did it:
Open Code Clips -manager (Tools > Palette > Code Clips)
Select all HTML-related and click "Remove"
Profit
Apache Netbeans 12.1.
Palette > Code Clips > Remove -- does not work.
NetBeans > Tools > Options > Editor > Code Completion > Disable "Auto popup completion window" -- does work.
In NetBeans 12, disabling the Auto Popup Completion Window option for HTML does not solve the problem when editing PHP files, the popup shows up whenever Tab is pressed in HTML portions of code.
The solution is to keep the Auto Popup Completion Window active for All Languages, then switch to the Code Templates tab, select Language: HTML, remove all templates from the list, and voilá. No more HTML popup suggestions, anywhere, ever. Only the good old PHP suggestions will remain active.
Right now I'm just using PhpStorm to work with some HTML, and it's great in that it auto indents and automatically closes out HTML tags.
The only problem is this feature doesn't really save me any time because I then have to use my mouse or arrow keys to navigate past the closing tag when I reach it. For example I type <p> and it closes it out <p></p> with my cursor in between, but when I'm done I either have to manually navigate past the closing bracket or use Shift+Enter to jump down to the next line (which isn't always what I want to do).
Is there a command that will just jump me to the end of the next closing bracket, or is there a way of setting this up? I've googled it but haven't been able to find anything.
I've googled it but haven't been able to find anything.
Well... Help | Default Keymap Reference has the most needed shortcuts and actions listed and the one you need is there.
In any case:
Ctrl + ] -- Navigate to code block end -- will jump to the closest closing tag (in HTML) or brace/closing keyword (CSS, PHP).
Ctrl + [ will do the opposite -- jump to the opening tag.
There are few other actions that can help here but may not have any shortcuts assigned by default -- check them in Settings (Preferences on Mac) | Appearance & Behaviour | Keymap (it has search by action name and even by already assigned shortcuts).
Another alternative (or better say -- advanced navigation) would be using AceJump pluign (you have to see it in action -- you either like or hate it).. or even Vim mode navigation (via IdeaVim plugin).
The simplest way to go about this is to press Command + -> (command+right arrow key) when your cursor is inside the brackets, and this will bring you behind the last bracket.
At least, I believe this is what you're asking.
hi, use mac os for: cmd + option + ]
I realize this is not a programming question, but it's driving me nuts and there is no other place to ask this kind of question.
In Android Studio (1.0.2) if I press the Tab key, it jumps exactly 1 indentation level. Even if I am in the middle of some heavily nested code, and I have to press Tab a bazilion times to arrive at the maximum indentation level, where it should have put the cursor in the first place.
Both Eclipse and Xcode jump to the max indent level if I press Tab, and that works way better for me.
How can we set the Tab key to jump to the maximum indent every time?
I'm running the same version (Mac), and was looking for the same thing.
Go to Android Studio Settings ---> Keymap
Find the entry for "Emacs tab" and assign a key.
This option does not have a key assigned by default, so you need to create one yourself.
If you really like the way Emacs works for tabs (I do), you can assign the tab key to this, and will be the default.
Working fine here now.
