WeBuilder 2006 Questions

[Jak-S]

Hi,
I just installed the demo and Iā€™m pretty much converted (was using DW before), WeBuilder is an excellent program. I just have a couple of questions before I purchase, regarding things that donā€™t seem to do what they should.

In CSS files I tend to format my rules like this:

Code: Select all

img {
	border: 2px solid white;
}

So, if the cursor is at the end of the border line and I hit return I get to the next line down, one tab in, all good. But then the auto complete appears and when I pick a property from the menu it appears two tabs in, like this:

Code: Select all

img {
	border: 2px solid white;
		padding: ;
}

Another thing is that auto complete does the whole find as you type thing, so when you type pad it skips down the list to padding, all good, but when you hit enter it doesnā€™t remove the pad letters I already typed, so you end up with padpadding: ; which is really irritating. It doesnā€™t seem to do this in other file types such as php.

My last question is is it possible to have like macro type things, so that when I type something like: if($var == 1) and then hit enter I will automatically put opening and closing brackets in and position the cursor in the middle, one tab in. I only ask because that is possible with some other programs I've used.

Thanks for your time,

Jack

Edit

Ok, one other thing, i have auto complete set to 500ms, and if i stop typing for 500ms but then start typing again the text editor area looses focus and you have to click back into it to continue typing. That cant be right can it?

Maybe there is indeed a bug in the software, we will take a look.

Cool, well, let me know cause Iā€™m on the verge of buying it, but thereā€™s no point if its gonna do these things, they're really irritating. Other than that tho congrats on such an excellent program, it certainly kicks dreamweavers ass.

Well I tried to reproduce these but no luck.
So I wonder what have you changed in the settings. Or did it behave like that from beginning?
If you don't know exactly what you have modified, you could try to export settings and send them to software@latnet.lv

I am afraid that 'if($var == 1) and then hit enter ' won't work and we have not planned to implement something like that. We have auto-replace available, but this is not what you need, I guess.

Do you have some undocked windows in editor (like file explorer)? If that is so, then this is on our list already and will be fixed in nearest future. Otherwise I need more details on that.

I have changed some settings, the reg file is here: http://www.jacksleight.com/settings.reg

Never mind.

Yes, both side panels are undocked.

Thanks for the registry file! I managed to reproduce this.

Until a fix is available, you could try to deselect option 'Constraint cursor to text' and use indent size >0 OR do not press TAB (in situations when cursor was at the end of a line and <ENTER> was pressed).

I agree that that might be quite irritating and we will try to fix this till the next version.
