Aptana3-> disable autocomplete suggestion

In Aptana3 I am unable to disable tooltips for autocompletion.

How can I disable it? I have disable all options in Preferences->PyDev->Editor->Code Completion but that still happend.

Tooltips (image)

After ENTER (image)

Explanation:

When I write code, it is constantly showing frames with useless content that hide my code and I should use shift+enter instead of enter to insert a new line.

Example: I want to write:

else
{
}

The tooltips show me what 'else' is (I think after 14 years programming I know that) and when I push 'ENTER', it directly write:

else{

}

That is enoying. I hate auto-completion because:

  • It add content that some times I do not see, that mean a bugs in my code.
  • It force me to read what I am writting, when I prefer to read documentation.
  • It do not take care about my programming style. I may ofc create a new workspace for every one, but it's anoying and time-lost.

Thx you for help.!

Solution

  • This auto-completion is called content assist. To disable it in Aptana Studio 3 :

    1. Choose Window in the main menu
    2. Go to Preferences
    3. Choose Aptana Studio → Content Assist
    4. Look at the Auto-display content assist . You will see a drop down menu
    5. Click drop-down menu and choose Off instead of Default delay.
