Tab bringing up list is driving me crazy...

The fact that the tab brings up the list absolutely drives be crazy...

I will type:

LEFT JOIN Accounts
ON (now tab twice to make the columns line up with the "A" in Accounts

That makes the list pop up on the first tab and on the second tab it selects the first item in the list (it is a table name)

This also causes problems when you just want to move an existing line of code over a tab or 2.

I think a lot of developers (me included) are used to the way the intellisense works in Visual Studio and there should be an option to use the same keystrokes.

    You can disable this bhavior:

    Open the SQL Prompt Options
    Go to the "Options" tab
    Locate the Listbox labeled "Words that will trigger the candidate list"
    Remove "ON"

    I know what you mean because I format my JOINS the exact same way. (4 space tabs)

    It's not just on the ON, but in other places as well. I just used that as an example...

    i agree there needs to be totally customisable options for:

    key press automatically pops up the list (after processing the key press). Eg type a space/tab/whatever and have the list come up once the space is entered

    key press to pop up tab in current position without actually inserting anything yet. for example ctrl-space should show the intellisense list, but it shouldnt insert a space like it does in the redgate version (v1.4 didnt used to insert the sapce then show the list if yo udid a ctrl-space)

    what keys will select the highlighted option. In microsoft style you can press ANY key to accept, and only escape will reject. I hate having to press only TAB to accept.

    We need to be able to set more than one hotkey to do any of the above actions. and also the "hotkey" shouldnt be limited to a single key, it should support ctrl, shift etc as well
