Dreamweaver cc 2017 - disable code auto

[jeremyh52902858]

Hello,

The last update of Dreamweaver cc 2017 change all options.

1/ auto complete

I want to disable all auto completion, but there is no option for that?

When i write ( { " ' dreamweaver write automatically ) } " '

How disable that ? Like before the update.

2/ tooltip

I want to disable tooltip for php and javascript, but not for html and css.

But since the last update, it's all or nothing. How select this option per language ?

(In reality I would like to be able to choose which tooltips to display: func but not constants, ...)

Thanks

DW CC2017 is a major revamp of the DW code view interface. The old one has been completely replaced by a somewhat watered down version of Brackets. As you've found, there's no way to turn off all of the code hinting and auto completion, that's now just the way it works.

I'm guessing over the next few versions, there will likely be some additional control over those types of things, but what control we get and when is something we won't be privvy to until the next version is released. Make sure to go into Help > Submit Bug/Feature Request to get your ideas in front of the dev team.

If you don't want to make the workflow changes necessary to use Brackets in DW, you still have access to all of the CC versions of DW, all the way back to CS6 Cloud, as part of your paid subscription. Just follow these steps to get back an older, pre-Brackets version, if you like: How to Find and Install Previous Version of Adobe Apps in CC 2015 | Adobe Customer Care Team

Thank you very much, i did not know this feature.

That is bad news as far as I am concerned. I have used Dreamweaver since the very first version back in the stone age, and this autocomplete is one of the most annoying things ever. Constantly messing up my code and wasting my time. If I didn't have a subscription to the whole Adobe package, via work, I would be looking for a different coding tool.

My post above was early on in DW2017 and is no longer accurate.

There is a file (part of Brackets, not the old DW XML files) you can modify to turn off auto completion.

The process is described here: Disabling The Auto Bracket Closing In Dreamweaver 2017

I am very annoyed, too. DW doesn't let me code anymore.

The Code Completion sets in way too fast, or lets say, when i move with my arrows in order to get to a different line, it will jump into the codesuggestions instead, so I need to use esc or mousclick to get out of this menu every single time i want to edit code that already exists.

Furthermore trying to move with arrows inside the code / or deleting some code, the suggestions will COVER/hide just the parts I am working at, so I din't even SEE, what Ia m doing!! This is crazy.

I like the suggestions, of course, they just BADLY tuned/adjusted.

When i show this to colleagues they laugh at me 'cause i did stick with DW and even pay money for it.

Often times with these mega corps i got the impression they produce stuff they don't really give users to test before release.
Well, I can't work like that, goodbye DW?

Hi,

Whilst i am sorry Dw is no longer working how you would like, and that you feel it is not worth your time using, i would like to ask if this behaviour in Dw's coding environment is the only reason for you thinking so?

Many people, (myself included) can no longer work with Dw, but in the hope that we can somehow make Dw more suitable for users in future versions, i hope you will be able to tell us of any other reasons that yourself and your work colleagues think Dw has failed, and where it is not keeping up to users requirerments.

I do not work for Adobe, but any information you can provide would be helpfull as feedback that i can provide to the Dw dev team.
