Problem: The code editor currently tries to do too much, such as inserting an additional quote or bracket when you press a quote or bracket key, or delete an additional quote or bracket when you delete a quote or bracket. More often than not it guesses wrong and actually causes bugs by inserting things it shouldn’t have inserted and/or deleting things it shouldn’t have deleted. The coder would often stare at their code wondering why it doesn’t work before they realized it was the code editor that had corrupted their code.
Proposed solution: Add a button (or more) to allow the coder to selectively disable these automatic functions, such as autocomplete, auto-delete, and auto syntax checks.
Who would benefit: Wikipedians who write or edit Lua modules.
More comments: Currently coders have the option to disable the code editor entirely, but that is not ideal because line numbers and syntax highlighting are actually useful.
