Notepad3: Don't autocomplete on Enter/CR-Key pressed

Created on 25 Jul 2019  路  5Comments  路  Source: rizonesoft/Notepad3

'Hell' autocompletes with 'Hello' , if a new line is created at the time.
I think its rather unintuitive. Programming is different as sentences rarely end with a word. A casual text editor can end with just 'hell'

Small interview:

  • Vote for "keep former behavior" ('Enter' inserts auto-completion item) => check (:-1:)
  • Vote for "New default: 'Enter' no longer inserts auto-completion item (except configured) (:+1:)

Feel free to test development beta version _5.19.725.2406_BETA (beta channel access see: #1129).
New configuration .ini-file: [Settings2] AutoCompleteFillUpChars=
To get the "Enter" completion behavior back, define: [Settings2] AutoCompleteFillUpChars=\r\n
I you like to allow more "fill-up" characters (accept completion item), just add them:
e.g. [Settings2] AutoCompleteFillUpChars=\r\n[(. (will accept completion item & adds the char).

@hpwamr : I like the disabled "Enter" for AutoCompletion (fluent writing), but to preserve the former behavior, we may define [Settings2] AutoCompleteFillUpChars=\r\n as default config :thinking: ?

@RaiKoHoff , I agree. 馃

Hello @gyaaniguy ,
As far as I'm concerned, I think you (as requester) can close this issue...

Oh wow. The change with this is phenomenal ! Never had used autocomplete in a notepad like app. But its so useful now. Thanks so much for this :)
