@babobski it's the white space I believe. I'm seeing the same behavior in 12.0.1. Not triggering on whitespace is by design from what I recall in other tickets and discussions.

@th3coop I'd expect auto-completions after completing another auto-completion, at least in CSS.

@Defman21 I could see that but it's been like this since Komodo 11 and no one said anything, unless you're saying the behavior changed.

@th3coop there is a reason I'm still at V10. The other (s)css related issues made it impossible for me to switch to K11 or K12. That said when testing JS there was also a lot not working properly, I reported the bugs I ran in to at the moment but as I'm not working with it there is nothing to report.

I tried to work with K11, but the bugs made it impossible for me to make the switch. Also there are a few pointers that are holding me back.

#3806 the problem here is that I still find the "new" symbol browser lacking functionality compared with what I have in K10, it is just bad by design.

One thing I can't understand is to move away from Ctrl + click for Go to definition as this is a Industry standard. It doesn't matter which Ide I choose Ctrl + click is for Go to Definition. So moving away from it feels like a bad move, as for new user you want the editor to be intuitive. Moving away from industry standards will make it feel Komodo is missing the functionality.

I've bin a long time with Komodo and have seen a lot new stuff coming by:

• The new colorscheme (and it's implementation)
• Focus mode
• The new SCC component (I have it disabled by default)
• New File From template
• The new addon manager

As for the above items they had a big impact and a lot of issues that are still here today. Also:

Sound to me like a bad design, why should you not trigger on whitespace?

I could see that but it's been like this since Komodo 11 and no one said anything, unless you're saying the behavior changed.

That's a bit my problem, shit is still broken. was hoping K12 would be a more viable product, but it is still a disappointment like K11.

Hey @babobski ,

Sounds like you're pretty upset about all this. I'm sorry for that but lets keep this ticket on topic. You could open a thread in the forums if you want to continue a discussion regarding the valid points you've mentioned above. I'll address the point related to the ticket.

Sound to me like a bad design, why should you not trigger on whitespace?

I thought we had a ton of tickets regarding this but I can't find ANY. I know we had numerous reports of people having completions trigger on whitespace and telling us to stop it. So, in regards to your comment, it's bad design in some contexts, good design in other contexts, I just wish I could find the good contexts. I believe "newline" was often a culprit.

@th3coop sorry about the ranting, but I was just a bit disappointed in your answer. That we have limited time to report a bug or else we have to accept it as as a feature. The new line issue I'm familiar with #3297

Also: #3263 #3452

@th3coop I'm pretty upset of all this, it's just because I always loved developing addons and stuff. I supported K11 with almost all of my addons while I'm using K10, it feels a bit pointless to me to be supporting K12 as it look like it's still not up to the job.

I don't like ranting on the support forum (there is too much of it already), just wanted to make a personal note. I would love nothing more than to switch to K12, but I'm a front-end developer and there are still to many bugs regarding (s)css, less, html and js that are intervening with my work flow.

I'm sorry you're upset, @babobski. Hopefully the tickets can be looked at in the near future.
