Dreamweaver's "Code Pop-up"

Hi Everyone!

 

I was writting some CSS code and I really like the pop-up that appears sometimes (), helps me to learn the properties fast.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to open that pop up? It seems it only appears when I hit Enter after writting ";"

 

------------------------------------------------

 

The other problem with pop-up I have is when I write HTML-tags this nice pop up comes.

Problem is I dont know how to select it like the CSS pop up. As you can see the img is highlighted, but if I hit return or space nothing happens.

 

 

Hope my English made any sense.

 

Peace.

    That is called "Code Hinting".

     

    When the code hints pop up, you can arrow through with the up and down arrow keys, then when you hit Enter/Return on your selection, it should fill out the remainder of the tag based on what you selected. CSS hints will not come up when you are typing HTML and HTML hints won't come up when you're typing CSS.

    Yes, it's Control + Spacebar. The keyboard shortcut for code hints is the same on both Mac and Windows.

    With HTML code hints, pressing Return/Enter should work. Pressing space will only add a space. Try pressing Tab. That should have the same effect as Return/Enter.

     

    You can also double-click the code hint to insert it.
