Aptana Studio 3.0.7 - CSS autocomplete only from the 2. line - css

i get CSS autocomplete only from the second line. There's no autocomplete at the first line?
And sometimes i get absolutely no autocomplete...
What am i doing wrong?
Thanks for reading that!

I guess they changed some settings, because it used to work instantly in previous Aptana versions. Here is what helped me with this problem in Aptana 3:
Window > Preferences > Aptana Studio > Content Assist > Auto-Display content assist
Change this drop-down from Default delay to Instant. Press Apply and Ok.

Please don't mind if you've already tried this and seems trivial. It wasn't for me!
Having moved from Dreamweaver where autocomplete comes on its own, I struggled with Aptana autocomplete at first. Sometimes in Aptana 3.0.7, it doesn't show up on its own and we need to hit Ctrl + Enter (on Windows)!
Also try Ctrl + Enter after typing at leaset 1- 3 Chars. This can be changed in Settings.
Hope this helps...

Aptana Studio 3 Not Showing Themes

So I recently moved all of the files that I want to keep onto a secondary hard drive in my laptop. This also included the workspace I use for Aptana Studio 3. As a result, there was a particular file that I had to delete and let the program recreate just to get the program to start up as well as re-import the projects I was working with.
The issue now, though, is that I cannot change or even bring up the themes in the preferences editor. When I first go to Window > Preferences > Aptana Studio > Themes, I get a message that reads:
The currently displayed page contains invalid values.
and doesn't show anything. On the rare occurrences that I AM able to get that particular window to show up, there's nothing there except an empty drop down menu. Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this? Thanks.
P.S. YES, I have Googled it and hence, since I didn't find anything, I'm asking the question here.
got this answer from another post...
I got the same problem. After updating Aptana to 3.5, whenever I looked at the themes settings, it crashed down saying.
"the currently displayed page contains invalid values"
Probably the new update has its own bugs for some reason.
the only way to fix the problem is to downgrade the version of Aptana studio.
https://wiki.appcelerator.org/display/tis/Reverting+to+a+Previous+Version#RevertingtoaPreviousVersion-AptanaStudio3.4.1
just Download 3.4.1 version and all things gonna be ok.
Add Eclipse Themes from http://eclipsecolorthemes.org/?view=plugin
Details to add themes on this post.
Edit: This does not seem to work :( only the bg changes. I never noticed that the font colors never changed. Have to wait for patches I guess. Don't want to downgrade though :-|

Aptana Studio 3 - Content Assist

Over the last few days this issue has been popping up and it's really beginning to annoy me as I spend more time correcting it than actually coding.
periodically when I am working with my JavaScript (jQuery) when I type $ for say:
$('#something').html when I type $ the content assist box comes up, which is fine but when I press ( I get the following output:
$$()
instead of how it should look:
$()
Any idea's how to fix this without disabling content assist for JavaScript? Thanks.
As stated in a comment I have fixed this issue in 3.0.4 and before. Aptana Studio has bindings for auto-inserting the proposed code. To fix it, go to Windows -> preferences -> Aptana Studio -> Editors -> Javascript and delete the insert proposed which is by default: .( and that will fix your issue.
As Ingo Muschenetz states, 3.0.5 is supposed to have fixed this issue, but I have yet to actually try out that version to ensure that it does.
This is actually a known bug and fixed in the update to 3.0.5: http://preview.appcelerator.com

Disable Code Assist in Aptana Studio 3

Is there any way to disable code assist in Aptana Studio 3? It is driving me absolutely insane! It changes things I don't want changed, it just overall gets in the way of my workflow. It was never a problem until the most recent update and ever since that update it's been much more aggressive in it's "assisting." I just want to be able to write the code myself without it messing me up.
To Caldwell,
The thing that you have mention is called Content Asisst. It will show a code-assist when you typing a code related to HTML/CSS.
To disable Content Assist in Aptana Studio 3 is :
Choose Window in the main menu ( menu avaiable on top) → Preferences → Choose Aptana Studio → Content Assist → Look at the Auto-display content asisst then you will see the drop down menu at besides, then click drop-down menu choose Off instead of Default delay.
That's all. Thank you
The issue you are referring to is most likely resolved in the beta of 3.0.4, but if you need to turn code assist off, I would suggest:
a) Preferences > Aptana > Editors (main node)
b) Preferences > Aptana > Editors > JavaScript (for example) and check the activation triggers. You may wish to remove "(" and "." for example.
Found this article trying to turn off the auto-complete of quotes and html tags. This feature is called auto-close. It can be turned off in Windows by going to Window -> Preferences -> Aptana Studio -> Editors. Here there is a "Typing" section of options. Unchecking "Auto-close matching character pairs" and "Wrap selected text with matching characters" did the trick for me.

Aptana editor freezes in linux

I have a problem with my Aptana dist. (version 3). When editing HTML, CSS, javascript, and whatnot, it freezes after a short while. I wander what could cause such strange behavior. To unfreeze it, I would have to click on window > Preferences (open the preferences dialog) and then close it. On clicking the editor, it opens. Has anyone had this problem and if so, how can I solve it???
I had the same problem once. Might have caused by the autocomplete feature. Try reinstalling using the NEWEST version of Apatana 3. I think they have already improved their text filtering feature.

Visual Studio Expand/Collapse Button Missing In Aspx File

As you can see on the image below my aspx files does not have collapse/expand buttons ("-" and "+") How can I enable them again? thanks in advance. Running VS2010.
Follow this menu command:
Edit > Outlining > Start Automatic Outlining
There's a bunch of information here.
Note the section on the Outlining submenu in the Edit menu.
For those who want to get in first view and do not want to visit above link.
CTRL + S
(to save document)
CTRL + K + D
(to reformat document)
Re-enabling outlining isn't working to resolve my issue. The (-/+) is only missing from spanning comments (/.../). Yet my Hide/Show Comments add-on is still recognizing the comments when I hide all with that.
