Overview
This page describes how to modify or customize some editor settings in Studio. Some editor settings can be modified in preferences, and can be further modified by editing a Ruble. Follow the directions below to further customize settings.
Smart Typing Pairs
Smart typing pairs is when you type a character such as ' or (, and it auto-inserts the matching ' or ).
Modifying the Built-In Bundles
- Find the bundle that represents the editor you are interested in. If it's a HTML-based editor (like PHP), you'll want to edit the HTML ruble.
- Select the menu item Commands > Bundle Name > Edit this Bundle. It will create a project in your workspace with the contents of that bundle.
- Open up the bundle project, and find the bundle.rb file.
- Edit (or add) the smart_typing_pairs section.
- Save the file. Your new settings should be in effect.
Example
As an example, we remove the auto-character insertion of quotes inb the HTML/PHP editors, but leave parens and braces alone.
- Select menu "Commands > HTML > Edit this bundle."
-
Open the file HTML / bundle.rb. searching for the following:
smart_typing_pairs["text.html meta.tag - punctuation.definition.tag.begin"] = ['"','"','(',')','{','}','[',']',"'","'"]... -
Edit the smart_typing_pairs property to use the new key command to the following:
smart_typing_pairs["text.html meta.tag - punctuation.definition.tag.begin"] = ['(',')','{','}','[',']']... - Save the file. The update should work as expected.
