[Autocompletion] Disable 'Enter' binding

[Nicolas LockFace]

Hello,

For autocompletion I would like to use only the "tab" key binding and remove the autocompletion when "enter" is pressed. Because it is annoying to force the user to paste the autocomplete thing when he press enter.

Sincerely,

Lockface77

Hello again

I found the solution to do this, I don't know if it is the cleanest one but it is working.

It works by deleting a field in aceEditor:

// This will delete autocompletion when the user clicks on "return"

delete aceEditor.completer.keyboardHandler.commandKeyBinding.return;

you can also add an if to be sure to not delete something that does not exists:

if (aceEditor.completer.keyboardHandler.commandKeyBinding.return)
     delete aceEditor.completer.keyboardHandler.commandKeyBinding.return;

Hope the answer help some people :)

Hitting Enter key or Tab key in the ace editor keeps pasting the previously selected entry in the autocomplete popup even though the autocomplete popup is hidden at the moment. Setting completers to empty array did not help. I don't want to remove key binding for Tab key either. Any better solution? Thanks.

Sounds like there is some exception being thrown in autocomplete. Could you give a link to a webpage where this issue can be reproduced?

I have not had time to construct a sample code in a link yet. However, I found that if I hit Escape button, then subsequent Enter or Tab hit (while autocomplete popup is hidden) will not auto-paste the previously selected entry.

I think it is because Escape command triggered a call to editor.completer.detach() as per https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/blob/v1.2.9/lib/ace/autocomplete.js#L185

I am ok with this for now. I don't think I need to remove key binding for Enter key nor Tab key any more.
I need help with the following issue in this thread instead:
