RapidPHP 2015 changes ! to !important in PHP code

[sootsnoot]

This problem has been around for several versions, but I never reported it - my bad

Just installed 13.0.0.162, and it's still there, so now I'm thinking maybe I've had some sort of bad option configuration all this time. But searching the forums didn't give me any ideas, so I'm reporting it in a new topic.

The problem is simple. I'm editing PHP code, and I normally put a space between the unary not operator ! and its operand. But when I type the space, it gets replaced by !important. So this valid php code:

Code: Select all

if (! $done) continue;

becomes this invalid PHP code:

Code: Select all

if (!important $done) continue;

Reasonable when editing CSS, but not PHP! Comment recognition, syntax highlighting and auto-completes are otherwise appropriate for PHP, there's just this one anomaly. If there's an option setting to fix this, please let me know. Else it's a bug

Thanks,

See if you have "!" under menu Options -> Preferences -> Text Editor -> Auto Replace and get rid of it.

This should not be in the default Auto Replace list in my opinion and I'll bring up this issue.

That's it! I've never looked at that option before, and I'm amazed at the length of the list. Also at the fact that this is the only item that has ever tripped me up.

Obviously my opinion is that this one shouldn't be there by default.

Of course as a user, it's my job to turn a stupid user misunderstanding into a feature request. In that spirit I would add my thought that while it's great that there's a button to disable the complete list, it would be better still if each replacement allowed selection of languages to which it should apply. This one would be okay for css and html (and perhaps others), but not php.

Thanks for a fantastic product with awesome support! I don't know why I waited all these years to report this problem!
