Options for Ruby plugin! (especially for auto-complete)
Submitted by alanomaly on Saturday, 1 November, 2008 - 18:02
The Ruby plugin is great, but it contains a lot of features that change how normal data entry into a jEdit buffer works, and not all of these can be turned off.

In particular, I really, really want to turn off the auto-complete for ", (, /, etc. I know a lot of people like this feature, so I understand why it's turned on as default, but why is there no option to disable it? (other than uninstalling RubyPlugin, which I have now done)

Personally, the main reason I like jEdit is because it DOESN'T try to be helpful like this unless I tell it to - if I wanted TextMate or Aptana, I'd get it, thanks. I love the RubyPlugin API browser and error detection, and I'd really like to be able to use these features without the plug-in changing my favourite thing about jEdit.

Please, keep the feature, maybe even keep it as activated by default, but please let me disable it if I want to. It seems like exactly the sort of thing that should have a toggle-on, toggle-off feature.

Thanks!

(p.s. if anyone knows any hacks I could use now to cut it out myself I'd be really grateful, thanks)

Turning off auto complete in the Ruby Plugin

This might be old news, but it might be useful to anyone new to jEdit:

- In jEdit (4.3 pre-release version), the Ruby plugin relies heavily on another plugin called SideKick. That is why it can be hard for newbies like myself to turn off auto-completion. Therefore, you have to go into:

Plugins > "Plugin Options..." > SideKick > General

- Once there, look to the right and untick the options for "Code Completion Options".
