I use VSCode and I think its a great editor, but when I write a comment in html it drops to a new line under what I'm commenting which is really irritating.
If I comment a closing div I want it next to the closing div not under it.
I have uninstalled prettier but that made no difference.
Is what I want even possible in VSCode?
Any advise would be appreciated because I am so irritated that I am considering using a different editor (I'm on a Mac just in case it matters).
Thanks in advance.
This was a problem for me too, as were other new line / white space related HTML issues.
Assuming you are not using any formatters besides the native VSCode HTML language features (you said you uninstalled prettier, but you didn't mention whether you were using something else),
there is a setting HTML white space which you can set to preserve to leave your comments untouched.
Note that you may need to go into settings and check what is being used as the HTML default formatter

a serious limitation for my workflow with vs code is the fact that while typing html everything gets turned into an html tag when pressing tab at the beginning of a line.
entering:
alsdjflkasjdfk + Tab
leads to:
<alsdjflkasjdfk> </alsdjflkasjdfk>
this is a problem since I want to integrate Django html snipptes and they end up not working. Does someone know how to turn this off? I rather just want defined HTML Snipptes than simply everything turning into one.
Try setting:
"emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab": false
This should disable this feature. We are also investigating a different flow for emmet with VSCode 1.12: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/21943
I've just about had as much as I can stand with Brackets, and NPP isn't much better. I'm so used to coding in Dreamweaver that I have become very accustomed to Adobe's auto tag completion - for example -
When I type
<div>
div content
misc. stuff
etc
</ (at this point, dreamweaver will complete the </div> tag)
In brackets, as soon as I type
<div>
it will automatically turn it into:
<div></div>
with the cursor in the middle, to insert content between the opening and closing tags.
Notepad++ will do neither of the above, unless I go into settings>preferences and turn on tag autocomplete, where it will do the exact same thing as brackets.
I absolutely hate this, I love the way Dreamweaver completes their tags but I don't like Dreamweaver in general. Is there a setting for this type of auto-completion in Brackets or Notepad++ that I may have overlooked? I've spent literally hours looking for a solution to this, everything from editing backets' JSON file to trying different HTML editors to almost throwing my G** D*** laptop against a wall from infuriation.
Is there a setting I can change, or a specific line of code I can add to Brackets' config.json file? If not, if you know of another program that has dreamweaver style tag closing, please please PLEASE let me know, I've been desperately looking for something to replace it!
Thank you very much in advance.
Yes, in Brackets you can get that behavior by adding this line to your preferences JSON file:
"closeTags": {"whenOpening": false, "whenClosing": true, "indentTags": [], "dontCloseTags": []}
To edit your preferences file, choose Debug > Open Preferences File from the menu. If the file is currently blank, be sure to wrap the above line in {}s.
For more details, check out the full list of Brackets preferences.
The problem: How do I change the font in the instruction text box in an MIT Scratch project page. For example: make a line of text standout in bold. I believe it maybe done through editing the html code that is behind the box as I found a read only editor button that displays the code for the box. Unlike say a cell in Ipython you cannot simply surround text with tags. It seems such a simple problem but I have not found the solution yet.
Sorry, you can't do it.
The only thing you can do is to search for special font-characters and paste them in the Instruction text-box
For a day or two fairly recently this was allowed from a bug, but that bug was fixed and it's now impossible.
It's possible to change the HTML code, but that changes would only seen by you, and nobody else. There isn't a way to do it.
I'm using FlashDevelop 4.6.1.30 in Windows, using it with HaxeFlixel.
The autocomplete suggestions appear when editing code - this is wanted, it is good.
They also appear when editing text files though - this is not wanted, it is not good.
Specifically, if I create a new text file in flash develop (so the file is called "readme.txt" or something), after typing a few words, FD tries to "guess" what I'm typing and pops up the suggestions list. This, of course, makes no sense when trying to type out things that aren't code.
Yes, I've seen this Flashdevelop - Disable autocomplete for txt files and no, it doesn't work - even after a restart.
Here is a screenshot showing it not working...
Can confirm, setting that option doesn't prevent completion in .txt files. Consider opening an issue on the FlashDevelop repository.
Looks like a bug.
For now you can simply disable the BasicCompletion plugin (check Disable and restart FlashDevelop).
Recently every time I copy a block of code from Eclipse and paste the code into TextEdit or a online forum using the code tags, I get the code with the rich-text or html formatting, so I have to copy into a text editor remove the formatting copying and pasting again, In the past this was not a problem I used to copy from eclipse and paste the code without any formatting at all just as plain-text, I dont know if I turn on a property or what I did for this to happen, any ideas how to fix this?
There is an Eclipse bug filed for this that can be voted for:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=45969
It has been open for 10 years though!
There are applications out there that think they can handle rich text but can't. So for those it looks like we'll have to carry on with "Copy-Switch to Notepad-Paste-Select All-Copy-Switch to final app-Paste" for some time yet.
Note: the rich formatting from a SWT editor seems to have always been available (bug 64498).
You could use "Edit, Paste and Match Style" in TextEdit.
From the Edit menu, choose Paste and Match Style,
or use the keyboard shortcut, Shift Option Command V.
The pasted text will pick up all the formatting from the character to the left of the flashing insertion point. This technique works in Mail as well.
