Is there any way to disable code assist in Aptana Studio 3? It is driving me absolutely insane! It changes things I don't want changed, it just overall gets in the way of my workflow. It was never a problem until the most recent update and ever since that update it's been much more aggressive in it's "assisting." I just want to be able to write the code myself without it messing me up.

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

-1 because pretty much the exact same answer was given and accepted almost a year ago. – CaldwellYSR Jul 12 '12 at 14:50

This also solved my issue with the unwanted folder drop downs and code insertions I was talking about in my comment on the main question. Thank you! – willdanceforfun Dec 19 '12 at 09:04

I needed the information in both answers. They are complementary. – Paul Lynch Jan 03 '14 at 19:51

Agreed, this is what I wanted, not the accepted answer. – Brian Moeskau May 23 '14 at 16:18

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.

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.
