Disable closing ")" when using content assist suggestions [message #1600781]

Hello,

is there a way, to disable the insertion of the closing ")" when selecting an element from the content assist?

E.g. when typing "file_pu" file_put_contents is suggested and when pressing enter, I want the content assist to insert:
"file_put_contents(" and not "file_put_contents()" with the cursor betwenn "(" and ")"

Background: When inserting "()" and I'm writing "$file" the cursor stands before the ")" and I have to move my hand to the cursor keys to insert the ";" and enter.

This is very annoying.

I've tried different settings and not found a solution.

Aren't there a lot of people having the same problem?

Thanks in advance,
Goo

It's not possible (you can create feature request on PDT bugzilla), but You don't have to move it manually.

Option 1.
After selecting for example file_get_contents(), this call is in active state. So you can switch between arguments by tab. Last tab move you cursor after ")".

Option 2.
Just write ")", PDT move cursor after it without duplications.

Thanks, but Option 2 is not working for me.

If I write file_put and press enter I get:
file_put_contents() with the cursor betwenn "(" and ")"

Then I write $filename, $data and ")" and get:
file_put_contents($filename, $data))

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

Can't believe, that I always have to move my hand to the cursor keys, which makes the content assist slower than writing the full command manually.

Thanks,
Goo

This works correctly with current nightly [1]

This also may be bug, but I need you Eclipse/PDT version and whole snippet to reproduce problem (I tested on empty, file, in function, in method, in closure)
