  1. The thing that got me really disappointed about it its that theres no shortcut(at least I havent found any) for closing tags and jumping thru “>”s

    this two eclipse features really made programming much less tiring, everytime I have to close a tag its just mechanic work, its a bore

    It shouldnt be classified as an “IDE” type of thing(like it deserved to be ignored), if e text editor is tool for programmers I think they should’ve have given this a little more consideration

    on jumping “>”s what I mean is, why its a feature for the program to automatically create an “>” when I type an “” in order to move on, it nullifies the purpose of this feature completely

    anyway, Im still using e text editor for my rails programming, I just think they could’ve put some work on implementing these two simple features, it would make the job much easier

    There are certain commands that should close the tags.
    Try these shortcuts.
    Ctrl+Win+. & Alt+Shift+, (for current word)

    And if you do not want e-texteditor to create a “>” for you when you type “< ". Its easy to disable this feature.

    Disable smart typing pairs, would disable other smart completion tags as well. Like when you type “< " and then type "%" the end tags "%>” will not be created.

    If you still want to disable it then follow the following steps.

    Hit Ctrl+Shift+B (Bundle Editor – Menu [Bundles -> Edit Bundles -> Show Bundle Editor]).

    Expand HTML bundle. Scroll down and double click on Miscellaneous.

    Remove the following from the smartTypingPairs array.

        ,
      [
         "< ",
         ">"
      ]
    

    Save and close it. Now try hitting “< ". As expected the end tags will not be created.

    If you want to re-enable this feature. Then edit the same bundle again and revert the changes by adding the item in smartTypingPairs.

    Hope it helps.
