Question

In Aptana3 I am unable to disable tooltips for autocompletion.

How can I disable it?
I have disable all options in Preferences->PyDev->Editor->Code Completion but that still happend.

Tooltips (image)

After ENTER (image)

---

Explanation:

When I write code, it is constantly showing frames with useless content that hide my code and I should use shift+enter instead of enter to insert a new line.

Example:
I want to write:

else
{
}

The tooltips show me what ‘else’ is (I think after 14 years programming I know that) and when I push ‘ENTER’, it directly write:

else{

}

That is enoying.
I hate auto-completion because:

• It add content that some times I do not see, that mean a bugs in my code.
• It force me to read what I am writting, when I prefer to read documentation.
• It do not take care about my programming style. I may ofc create a new workspace for every one, but it’s anoying and time-lost.

Thx you for help.!

Answer 1

This auto-completion is called content assist. To disable it in Aptana Studio 3 :

1. Choose Window in the main menu
2. Go to Preferences
3. Choose Aptana Studio → Content Assist
4. Look at the Auto-display content assist . You will see a drop down
   menu
5. Click drop-down menu and choose Off instead of Default delay.
