html tag completion behavior
I tried this in PHPStorm and the behavior is different. I'm not sure if this is a setting I need to change, or, this is an anoying ?:| behavior when entering html tags in RubyMine.
Steps:
Start to enter a tag with a "<"
List comes up and I choose one, say "div" and hit the spaebar
The IDE editor yields a <div ="" with the cursor at the position before the "=" symbol.
I type "I" and code hinting comes up, suspecting I want "id". I hit the spacebar to insert it
The cursor just sits there after the "d" and so I move it to the point between the quotes.
I enter my id selector name and imeaditely I get <div id>
Now I do notice that one of the setting is effecting this behavior, not exactly as in PHPStorm, but it makes sort of an improvement:
If I turn this setting: Automatically start attribute off, then the behavior is like this:
Start with the "<", then div autocomplete comes up, select div and use the spacebar to do so
Start with "I" and autocomplete comes up, I select and spacebar for "id"
I get <div id="" and the cursor is after the second quote plus a space
Not exactly the best either as wouldn't I want the cursor between the quotes so I could enter a selector name?
Do I need to be coding my own behaviors?
I may be totally off here and missing something. I hope so.
Assistance is much appreciated!

Ohhhhhhh! :8}
Using the enter key instead of the spacebar is the ticket with the setting on!
Face palm! :O
Sorry.
But maybe my missunderstanding will become someone else's understanding.
