Re: Disable auto complete

[Gregg]

An example of this is biting one's butt is Python: when doing a function 
comment of the form,

def something():
 """
This is what my function does
"""
pass

the insertion of the extra " gets annoying. The "easy" behavior is "don't 
add an extra quote if the mode is python and there's already three in the 
preceding characters" but my head is spinning thinking of how to implement 
that.

I've noticed the same thing since BBEdit 12 came out.

Maybe send an example text snippet and a description to 
Barebones support.


Meanwhile, I find that it works if I down-click and *hold* just 
a bit longer before starting to move/duplicate the selected text.

Re: Disable auto complete

[Kerri Hicks]

I created a clipping for '. All that's in the clipping file is '. I
assigned it a keystroke (control-'). That inserts a single quotation mark,
without inserting the matching close single quote.

Actually, I created a whole set, including ', ", (, {, and <

They're in a zip file at
https://kerri.is/coding/BBEdit_open_glyph_clippings.zip if you want to
download them. To put them into action, go to BBEdit -> Clippings menu (the
round C) -> Open Clippings Folder, and stick them in your Universal Items.
Then open your Clippings palette, Set Shortcuts, and there you go -- you
can set your own "modifier" key by deciding which one you want to use.

I agree. After failing to find the correct setting, my next attempt at a 
solution had been to try the modifier keys.

Erratic option-click and drag selection behaviour

[marcherm]

I experience an erratic option-click and drag selection behaviour. At times 
it works as expected, i.e. the selection is duplicated to where it is 
dragged. At other times however the selection becomes undone and a cursor 
is placed at the place of the click. I do not experience this in any other 
program.
Is there a remedy for this occasional lapse of reason?
