automatically adding the ";" after choosing an auto completion statement
Is it possible to add the semi-colan at the end of an intelli sense completion?
if I type in "print_" i get a drop down menu letting me choose "print_r". Clicking on this will of course type in the word "print_r" for me. But it has been getting on my nerves that it doesn't fill int eh semi-colon for me.
I understand that this can be seen from another perspective and be an annoyance if the semi-colon would interfered with code on the same line. So why not have a keyboard combo to allow this.
Perhaps at the auto completion menu by pressing "command + ;" it will insert the selecte menu item with a trailing semi-colon also by clicking while holding the command key will apply the semi-colon to a clicked menu item?

Only manual completion (Ctrl|Cmd+Space) can be finished by ; , and other symbols - this will both select item and type in the symbol.
Automatic completion should never interfere with normal typing and thus does not let you do this.
thank you for your quick repsond.
I tried to envoke the auto complete menu and then pressed CMD+CTRL (and vise versa) then spage, but it does nothing. Is there a settings that must be switched on for this combo to work?
Sorry for confusion. The shortcut depends on your keymap – its ether (Ctrl OR Cmd) PLUS Space.
You can look up you shortcuts in Help | Default keymap reference.
