Version 8.2.1 problem with typing aide
-
After the latest update I have received (8.2.1), I have a problem with the typing aide. It used to be as I typed, if Notepad++ noticed I was starting a word I already used, it would display that word. I could then just hit ENTER to complete the word. Now, when it displays the word, if I hit ENTER, the word is not filled in. Instead, a new line is created. It seems like something was broken in the update.
Please reply to this question to nickajp@comcast.net as I do not normally monitor my Google email address.

If one read the release notes with every upgrade, instead of ignoring/closing that tab that shows every time you upgrade, one might have noticed this feature was changing.
It was a design choice, because many users were complaining that when they hit enter, instead of creating a newline like would be naturally assumed, it would autocomplete to some word they didn’t want.
The problem was that the original design defined both TAB and ENTER as the auto-completion selection key, and some people got used to one key, and some to the other – and both were annoyed that the other key was also consumed.
In v8.2.1, they decided to make it configurable, … but default it to only accept TAB (and you could add back in or change to ENTER via the config box)
… but that just confused people who were used to the ENTER key for ending auto-complete. So in the next version (8.3.x or 8.4, whatever it will be called), it will go back to default of having both of those checked on, and those of us who only want one key to end autocomplete instead of two will have to go make the config change.

Nope. We reply in the forum. When you signed up, if you enabled notifications, the notificatinos will go to whatever you set up in the settings. But if you want to read the response, you have to read it in the forum.
