If this feature is turned on, it automatically adds an extra " ' ] or } when I type an opening one. I like that; however, what I don't like is that if I type something like:

echo 'This is a string that will have ' . $this_var . ' printed in it.';

you can't continue typing the quote, or bracket, and the editor realize that you want to close the current one, rather than start a new one. So PhpED gives me this:

echo 'This is a string that will have '' . $this_var . ' printed in it.'';

Is there a way to fix this by an option I'm not seeing (or don't realize exists)? Thanks for the help.

UPDATE
Build 5031 does fix some of the issues; however, if you type something like:

it comes out like this....


So it properly skips quotes, but not braces So it's half-way fixed...

UPDATE II
Still b0rk3d in 5219.... downloading 5220 right now.

UPDATE III
Still b0rk3d in 5220... quite annoying not to be able to use it.

Thanks for the report.
It will be improved in build 5031

Fantastic!! Thanks!

I just wanted to add (and hopefully you look at this again), that if you don't fill the quotes or braces with text, i.e. you say:

$var = array();

Then it works as expected (typing ")" just skips over the closing ")"). Same thing with other brackets & quotes. Not sure if this will make it become a feature faster; but, thought it would help.

5031 is available now.

Fantastic!! Downloading it now!!

Will you be posting a 'News' item explaining the changes?

http://www.nusphere.com/news/changes50.htm

Thanks however, that's not the easiest thing to find on the main site.

I know, the only reason I know of the file is because I read it in a newsletter. I've bookmarked it anyway since it seems the topic in the News forum isn't updated anymore. I do like to know what was changed. Perhaps including the changes in a TXT in the installer would be a good idea.

A-ha - smart move, well done

one day we'll add RSS feed for the page
and 'check for new version' in the IDE too

The changelog does not mention this change
