CodeLobster IDE

Hi.

About [i]display[/i]: looks like there is our bug indeed.
We will fix it by next nearest version.

Thanks,
Codelobster Team.

[quote="Admin"]Hi.

1) VSCode works by the same way.

2) You can type a space at first and return cursor.
Or You can add new tag into the end.

If You start to type some tag(or function) over existing one then Codelobster overwrite it.
It is a simple behaviour.

Thanks,

I respect your opinion - but I really disagree with you. It might be a "simple" behaviour, as you call it, but definitely not an effective behaviour. For example, test phpDesigner, and you will get it.

Anyway, I added [i]display[/i] at the end, no suggestions from autocomplete other than [i]important[/i]. Correct?

Codelobster, can you please answer me on this, because your previous answer really worries me...

To prove my point, e.g.:

[u]NuSphere PhpED:[/u] "PHP Variables code completion provides the pop up menu with the list of the variables used in the script [b]when the user starts typing[/b] new variable name...Code completion works for HTML and CSS as well."
(http://www.nusphere.com/products/php_code_completion.htm)

[u]Visual Studio:[/u] "If a language service knows possible completions, the IntelliSense suggestions will pop up [b]as you type[/b]."
(https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/intellisense)

[u]Sublime Text:[/u] "Auto complete shows the completion popup [b]as you type[/b]"
https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/auto_complete.html

[u]RapidPHP:[/u] "Auto Complete window is displayed automatically [b]as you type[/b] the code."

[u]JetBrains:[/u] "For automatic completion enable the Show suggestions [b]as you type[/b] option"

You should press ctrl+space to add new attribute (not start to type it).

Come on Codelobster...

So, you mean that I should (1) press ctrl+space, (2) then scroll down to [i]Display[/i] (in my case) and (3) double click on the attribute with the mouse or hit Enter?

Yes, then it works, [i]min-height[/i] is not removed. Things that takes a millisecond in other IDEs should take ~5 seconds in CodeLobster?

If you (1) press ctrl+space, (2) start typing [i]dis[/i] to select [i]Display[/i] in the [b]LONG[/b] list, [i]min-height[/i] is removed.

Can you please give me a proper answer on this? This is [b]not[/b] how an autocomplete feature should work.

I was pleased to read the release notes for 1.9.0 about the autocomplete improvements, but unfortunately, it still contains [b]basic bugs[/b] (which I have explained to you before in detail in an email).

For example:

1. I want to write something before the [i]min-height[/i] attribute in the style tag:

[attachment=2]code1.jpg[/attachment]

2. I start to write [i]dis[/i] and hit Enter as I like the autocomplete suggestion:

[attachment=1]code2.jpg[/attachment]

3. The [i]min-height[/i] attribute is now gone, replaced with [i]display[/i] and the autocomplete popup is still open:

[attachment=0]code3.jpg[/attachment]

[b]N.B.[/b] The same thing happens if you start typing e.g. after the [i]min-height[/i] attribute instead - then the existing [i]border-top[/i] will be replaced with [i]display[/i] instead. So, the bug appears independent of where you place the cursor in the (existing) style tag.

This is elementary things that shouldn't go wrong. I haven't tested all the other things I've mentioned to you about the autocomplete feature, but as this one still fails, I guess all the other bugs still exist as well ([i]edit[/i]: yes, they are, e.g. quite often, no suggestions are displayed by the autocomplete feature etc). Please fix ASAP (I guess it will take 2-4 months..). Soon time to look elsewhere for a basic and solid PHP editor.
