To Caldwell,

The thing that you have mention is called Content Asisst. It will show a code-assist when you typing a code related to HTML/CSS.

To disable Content Assist in Aptana Studio 3 is : Choose Window in the main menu ( menu avaiable on top) → Preferences → Choose Aptana Studio → Content Assist → Look at the Auto-display content asisst then you will see the drop down menu at besides, then click drop-down menu choose Off instead of Default delay.

That's all. Thank you

Found this article trying to turn off the auto-complete of quotes and html tags. This feature is called auto-close. It can be turned off in Windows by going to Window -> Preferences -> Aptana Studio -> Editors. Here there is a "Typing" section of options. Unchecking "Auto-close matching character pairs" and "Wrap selected text with matching characters" did the trick for me.

Answer 3

The issue you are referring to is most likely resolved in the beta of 3.0.4, but if you need to turn code assist off, I would suggest:

a) Preferences > Aptana > Editors (main node)

b) Preferences > Aptana > Editors > JavaScript (for example) and check the activation triggers. You may wish to remove "(" and "." for example.
