PHP IDE :: NuSphere Forums :: View topic - [resolved] Tabbing before "ending" a line

Posted: Thu Jun 05, 2008 10:40 am

I am wondering if anyone knows of a setting I can change that allows me to "tab" before terminating a string with a semi-colon in PHP.

Example.. (tab) represents me hitting the tab key.

Code:

<?
$string = "abc";
$test(tab)
?>

..when I press tab, it doesn't work.

However, when I insert a semi-colon to terminate the string, press the backarrow key, then tab, it works..

Code:

<?
$string = "abc";
$test(tab)(tab); // semi-colon was inserted before I tabbed
?>

you might try to check 'Cursor beyond EOL' in Tools/Settings/Editor/Editor settings

If you have the "code completion on tab"-option checked (in options under Code Insight > Settings) it will attempt to do code insight, fail and eat the TAB key.
Disabling that option should solve your problem.

Thankyou. That solved my problem.
