It doesn't know how to close functions, like:



whatever.MouseEnter:connect(function()

and it will automatically do this

end

but it needs to do this:

end)


drives me nuts

Yes, I actually do understand those feels. Though, at one point ROBLOX didn't even have the auto-end placement. Be happy, boi.

You can always separate your function and connection line if it bothers you that much:

function stuff()
--stuff
end

event:connect(stuff)

I also hate how in the command bar:

workspace.Mod-- *CRASH*
workspace.Model-- *CRASH*
etc

I have AutoHotkey, so what I do is I just bind events to my numpad. i.e. if I press 6 it will insert:

:connect(function()

end)

and then move the cursor back inside the parentheses after function.

If I press 1, I get:

if then
--cursor ends up here after
end

etc

Really nice thing to have.

My mouse has a numpad on the side of it going up to 12.

Is too lumpy n I don't even use it.

Something that really bugs me is that I will suddenly lose the ability to type in my script because of the AutoFill function thing. I have 2 monitors and the AutoFill option box pops up on the other monitor, force-tabbing me out of the game.

What I hate more, is how you forget to capitalize an item in your workspace and you don't know what happened, all of a sudden you get leaks, and many bugs in your output with errors, it just makes me rage!

I also hate how when you are planning out your blocks like this:

function foo()
if bar then
--example

the auto end does this:

function foo()

end
if bar then
--example
end

I actually prefer to not have auto-complete.
Sublime Text does it WAY better, and I still hate it.

I have grown to adapt to it in the last couple weeks in my return. It's ok... Closing events is annoying but that's the only quirk I've found. It works better if you just type without looking lol. It's kind of an instinctual way of coding but it is arguably faster.
