Code completion for JavaScript included?

They're not there yet, but we're definitely in our future plans.  Feel free to vote on these user stories to help us prioritize the work:

JS code hinting: https://trello.com/card/code-hinting-javascript-tokens/4f90a6d98f77505d7940ce88/465

Auto-close braces/tags/etc.: https://trello.com/card/5-code-hinting-auto-insert-matching-elements-closing-tags/4f90a6d9 8f77505d7940ce88/309

For closing HTML tags specifically, there's a patch that we may merge soon that would add that feature.  If you're familiar with Git, feel free to pull down the patch and give it a try!

I got the patch (although I'm not sure I did it the correct way), and the tag closure works for html tags but not for css rules. Just for the record, what would be the correct way to get and install that patch? There was discussion after the original programmer made changes, and I'm not sure the files I got were the final ones.

The patch referenced above only adds auto-close tags for HTML.  We don't have any support for auto-closing curly braces or quotes or other syntactic elements yet.

The best way to get ahold of that change is to download a build of Edge Code or Brackets that includes it.  Current Brackets builds include it already, and the next release of Edge Code -- which will be available later this month -- will also include it.

If you want access to "bleeding edge" functionality before an official build comes out, you can pull down the Brackets source from Git and run that copy.  That's similar to downloading "unstable" nightly builds of something (not for the faint of heart!) but since you have the actual source, you can also easily test out patches before they're merged in or tinker with your own code changes.  You'll want to be familiar with Git to go that route, though.

Hope that helps!
