With VA you really have to look what happens when you're typing.

Even with disabling all Corrections I sometimes get unexpected output when typing simple characters:

Problem 1:


  • I type 'abc'

  • then I want to replace the 'b' with a dot.

  • so I move the cursor between b and c and press Shift+Left to select 'b'

  • I press '.'

  • Normally (and with most other characters) the cursor is now right of the dot

  • But with VA enabled the cursor is on the left of the dot

  • If I do not notice that and continue writing, I'm producing wrong code



Problem 2:


  • I type '#import "pathfile"
  • '
  • I move the cursor between 'path' and 'file'

  • I press \\ (backslash)

  • For some reason VA then deletes the whole 'pathfile' and leaves only the backslash



Is it possible to set up VA in a manner that it does not change any code when I type, except for inserting selections from the listbox when I press TAB????

Problem 1 is a known bug:

case=2163

As far as I know this has nothing to do with your VA options, and is "simply" a bug caused by how VA has to hook into the editor in order to work.

Problem 2, can you try upgrading to the latest version of VA please:

this reminds me of a bug I recall seeing reported, but from memory this has been fixed.
