Prevent Visual Studio 2013 to exit editing class tag when pressing SPACE

Question

The feature I like in VS2013 is the CSS Class IntelliSense in CSHTML files, however, their new feature to exit the tag when pressing SPACE is quite annoying.

For example: I usually use Bootstrap with multiple classes, says:

<button class="btn_ <- My pointer is here

and I want to press SPACEand add btn-default, but instead, it jumps out:

<button class="btn" _ <- new pointer position

and it takes me more time to work with classes. Is there a way to turn this off?

P.s: my current fastest way to overcome this is to press ESCbefore pressing SPACE.

Answer 1

Honestly, trying out several combinations, using Esc before Space may be your quickest way. It also lets you "exit" when you're done adding all the classes you need,

e.g. class="btn<ESC><SPACE>btn-secondary<ESC><SPACE>alert<ESC><SPACE>alert-info<SPACE>" <-- this quote is skipped at the last space and you can add other attirbutes

Another option is to disable the auto-completion of attributes entirely. This can be done by going to Tools > Options > Text Editor > HTML > Advanced, then set Insert attribute value quotes to false.

Answer 2

Tools > Options > Text Editor > Html > Advanced and tuirn off insert attribute value quotes. Yeh you have to put quotes in yourself but I would rather that then having to skip back every time

FYI the esc option didn't work for me

some one at microsoft needs a lesson in UX though for sure
