Disable Code Assist in Aptana Studio 3 - aptana

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.

Can't re-open project files sidebar anymore in Atom Editor

Sorry if this is the wrong place to answer but I found no other community which could help me with this. I accidentally closed the left-sidebar that shows the currently open project and it's files. Not sure what it's called, maybe navigation, folder view, either way, I tried pressing nearly every key combination to no results. I tried searching in the command palette for something that looked like "open project sidebar" but nothing. Now I'm stuck having no idea how to restore my primary navigation means when working with Atom. I tried opening multiple projects but I just get a black screen without the project sidebar, like it was hidden.
Any ideas?
I'm talking about this sidebar:
It is called "Tree-View".
You should be able to enable it via command pallete or ctrl + ,
It depends on your OS. On Mac OS X, it's CMD-\ (Command-Backslash) to toggle it. The option located on the View menu, called Toggle Tree View (the last menu option).

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.

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 :-|

Turning off auto-styling for Web Form designer in VS2012

Whenever you are in design mode in VS2012 for editing a Web Form, if you click on anything, and accidentally drag and drop, a CSS auto-style will appear at the top of the HTML for the aspx page.
From some preliminary research, I checked the following:
Tools>Options>HTML Designer>CSS Styling>Style Application Mode, but it was already set to manual. Is there somewhere else I should be looking to disable this functionality?
Right now there is no way to turn off this. We have received this feedback through connect link. Please add vote to this connect bug. And we will consider this in future release of VS.
I also found this, and I have assoicated it rightly or wrongly, with large pages getting totally corrupted (table cell contents being apparrently randomly swapped).
I managed to turn autostyle off by going to Tools>Options>HTML Designer>CSS and selecting 'CSS (inline styles)' for each of the items there.
Autostyling has stopped and (fingers crossed) my latest pages have retained their integrity.
Tools > Options > Web Forms Designer > CSS change all CSS(classes ) to CSS(inline styles)

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

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 - 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
