Auto-closing of tags?

Hi,

I already checked the documentation for Komodo Edit (Komodo Edit, version 4.0.2, build 275451, platform linux-libcpp5-x86. Built on Sat Feb 10 12:08:21 2007.) and the forums, but could not find any info, so I'm asking here:

I work with HTML/CSS mostly and wondered if there's a feature which auto-closes tags for me. Auto-completion per se works fine, but tags are not closed for me. Or is that an IDE feature? Am I missing something? A glance through the options didn't help either.

No auto-close feature

Komodo 4 ( Edit or IDE ) does not currently do auto-closing of tags, however this is a common enhyancement request so we may look at this feature for a future version. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the reply Jeff,

I'll have a look at the bug tracker in the future before posting, I totally forgot about it. Looking forward to the feature, it's a massive time-saver for me.

Auto-close still not implemented?

Hi,

i just installed KomodoEdit 4.3 and still can't find the tag auto-close. Am I missing it? It's such a timesaver and I prefer it over using abbreviations or snippets, actually.

Any update appreciated :)

Re: auto-close for html tags

No, the auto-closing of html tags has not yet been implemented.

If anyone is eager, interested and wants to implement it themselves for Komodo Edit, I'd suggest taking a look at this here:
http://svn.openkomodo.com/openkomodo/view/openkomodo/trunk/src/codeintel...

Cheers,
Todd

Thanks for the update, Todd.

Sadly, I don't get a thing looking at that code, hopefully someone else will step up.
