autocomplete not turning off
Submitted by Thadanator on Tuesday, 18 September, 2007 - 07:52
When I'm editing html, and I type "</" I DON'T want it to complete it for me!
That creates this: "</span>span>" (because I typed the whole thing) which is very annoying. It's even worse if it ended the wrong tag. Sometime's (rarely) it shows a little box by my cursor that requires me to press ENTER to autocomplete. Why only sometimes?!?!?

So, what option is this under, I've searched google and this forum far and high but nothing works.
Thank you.

My first try was Plugins, Plugin Options, XML, XML, [ ] Insert closing tag when "</" is typed.

Since this didn't stop the completion (I think it should):
Plugins, Plugin Options, SideKick, General, [ ] Immediatly complete if possible.

Probably the answer for your question "Why only sometimes?" is nearby: Plugins, Plugin Options, SideKick, General, After popup trigger keystroke, wait (seconds): Maybe you want this be zero.
