[opensuse-kde] Kile and brackets
Hi all, I have just installed oS 12.3 fully updated but I have found a different behaviour of Kile wrt brackets. Until oS 12.2, I was able to select a piece of text and then, by pressing ( or {, the text was put inside () or {}, respectively. For instance, if I selected ax+b and pressed (, the resulting text was (ax+b). The current behaviour is to replace the selected text with the bracket. Since I am still using the same configuration for kile, probably this changed behaviour depends on the new version of KDE (since the changelog of kile does not mention a change for this, and if I install kile 2.1.2 from oS 12.2, I still face the new behaviour), do you know I can restore the old behaviour?

Hi Andrea, I think the issue is not in kile but in kpart.. .you can easily check that in kate or kwrite as far as I know but I can be wrong this is considered a feature... which hopefully will be reverted in future releases. there is even a bug report on it... https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313455 however my understanding of the issue is that the developer does not find it useful and has a very low priority of being brought back. to console you I am on kde trunk and the feature is still missing. regards, Alin On Fri 26 Apr 2013 10:59:19 Andrea Turrini wrote:

Hi Alin,

I suspected this, in fact...
there is even a bug report on it... https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=313455
Read.
however my understanding of the issue is that the developer does not find it useful and has a very low priority of being brought back.
to console you I am on kde trunk and the feature is still missing.
This is bad, when they move something working to a plugin but doing this they change the behaviour. Best, Andrea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
This is bad, when they move something working to a plugin but doing this they change the behaviour. Andrea, the issue is not changing the behaviour if the change is a progressive one... and forces the user to change his/her behaviour and get more productive. Unfortunately is not the case with this one. the new plugin is {as an irony the author gives as an example latex} is totally unsuitable for tex/latex editing files where correctly bracing is important for the sanity of the user... the only advice I can give you is to totally disable it.
to add salt on your wound I can show you a bug that you will probably soon hit. try to type this in a tex file kwrite/kate/kile {{a}} regards, Alin -- Without Questions there are no Answers! ______________________________________________________________________ Alin Marin ELENA Advanced Molecular Simulation Research Laboratory School of Physics, University College Dublin http://alin.elenaworld.net/ ______________________________________________________________________ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

OK, I was too concise, but this is what I meant

Actually it is a long time that I have it disabled (as well as all other plugins).

Nothing happens ;-) But by enabling the autobracket plugin, I see what you mean. Best, Andrea
