roopurt18 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I would like to configure eclipse so that if the incoming character is from a specific set of characters and the character following the cursor matches the incoming character that it doesn't insert any character but instead moves the cursor ahead one position. For example, if the cursor is in front of a double-quote and I type a double-quote, then I would just like eclipse to move the cursor after the existing double-quote. I only want this to occur for some characters: double-quote, single-quote, square and curly brackets, etc. I use Zend at work and this feature combined with auto-complete is wonderful, but I had to turn off eclipse's auto-complete at home because I don't like moving my hand to the arrow keys. I've been searching for the "magical" editor that does everything I want and I'm hoping eclipse is it. I really like how you can manage your projects, make them dependent on each other, and find plug-ins to add desired functionality. The thing that's killing it the most for me is the topic of this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeB Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I think you can update the editor files manually to get the desired effect. Other than that I think you're SOL. I was grumpy about it at first, too, but now it annoys me when I switch workspaces and have to turn it off. My advice, get used to it being off and you'll find it a lot less annoying.
