300 Pointsis there a way to disable code completion?
I scanned through the 4 tabs (File, Edit, View, Help), but I didn't find any option for swapping between on and off for code correction.
until later on when hundreds of lines of code are being written, I personally prefer completing the tags on my own as it is easier to space and indent tags for the sake of organization.
this isn't a large problem by any means, but it would be cool if there was a way of disabling this feature.
thanks a bunch.

Code completion may be annoying when you're writing, but overall, it is a massive time-saver and more crucially, it helps you avoid missing closing tags. If you're writing a partial where you intentionally need to remove a closing tag, it's not a big deal to delete after the fact.
If it really bugs you, you may want to use a desktop text editor like Sublime Text where you can turn this on and off, and use Workspaces to share your code after the fact via copy-and-paste. A kludge, but I guess that's all you can do for now.

Courses Plus Student 12,422 PointsMy pleasure! Glad to help. I found code completion strange when I first encountered it but now it seems weird not to have it.
