Description Petr Jiricka 2013-02-08 17:06:37 UTC

When completing an attribute such as href in a HTML document, the code completion offers files and directories inside the project, for example:

../
basecss.css

After pressing Ctrl+Space, ../ is preselected, but this is not often used (especially if the value of the href attribute already contains a partial path). So I think the first real file or directory should be preselected.

I'm not sure if I can affect the selected item, but what I can do is to put the ../ to the bottom of the list which will make the first real file preselected. OTOH this is in contradiction with the common OS directory listing so not sure it people will like it ;-)

Comment 2 Petr Jiricka 2013-07-16 13:59:15 UTC

Changing to enhancement per agreement with Marek.
