CSS editor could persist parameter drop-down

The CSS editor when you type the : (colon) at the end of a property name currently drops down a list of possible keywords or parameters. If you like neat code like me, as soon as you insert a space after the colon, the drop-down disappears. I hate cramped code, like ... .aClass { display:inline } ... and prefer it like this: .aClass { display: inline } Could the drop-down persist until either (a) you select an option from the list, (b) start typing a non-whitespace character, e.g. beginning a value, or (c) until you type the ; (semi-colon) or } (right brace) that ends the line?

Hello Hedley, Yes, the code completion window should not force you to enter the property value with no spaces after the ':' character. It looks neater with separating spaces between the ':' character and the property value. I added an issue to our internal system for ending the code completion only in one of the cases that you specified. Regards, Sorin Hedley Finger wrote:
