Summary: Autocomplete preferences are needed
Product: kate

It would be useful to be able to define different behaviours to different \
autocompletions. A) Autocomplete should recognize case. I for one don't \
type my html tags in capital letters and often end with things like the \
following when using autocomplete: <taBLE><tbODY><TR><br><TD></TR></TABLE>
Notice the funky casing, the lowercase is my typing, uppercase is \
autocomplete. 'table' and 'tbody' are autocompleted for me after the first \
two letters, 'br' doesn't have a closing tag and is too short to be \
recognized before I get to '<br' anyway, and once I do get that far, it \
doesn't give me the option to autocomple, so I have to type out '/>' \
myself.
I really do like having all my tags uppercase, I am just too lazy to do it. \
Ideally, rather than autocomplete match my tags case, there would be an \
option to just have all tag autocompletions go strait to uppercase, \
including the portions input by the user. So '<ta' would complete to \
'<TABLE>' rather than '<taBLE>', and '<br' would autocomplete to '<BR/>'.
B)This may already be a feature that I couldn't find, but it would be \
useful if there was an option to always close tags. Some times when you are \
going quickly, you don't even think to press <enter> on autocompletions. \
This means you end up with: <table><tr><td>
And none of the closing tags were automatically inserted so you are left \
manually inserting them. It would be nice if they would automatically:
1) Change the user typed code to uppercase (see above)
2) add the closing tag.
So typing, '<table><tr><td>' would result in \
'<TABLE><TR><TD></TD></TR></TABLE>'.
C) Lastly, it would also be nice if the closing tags on block level \
elements were automatically put on a new line... '<table>' would \
autocomplete as ... <TABLE>|
</TABLE>
Or, typing '<table>[enter]<tr>' would autocomplete as...
<TABLE>
<TR>|
</TR>
</TABLE>
('|' denotes cursor position)
Thanks for reading all of this, regardless of whether these requests get \
implemented or not :) _______________________________________________
