Turn off web workbench intellisense and auto-formatting?

Is there any way to turn off the intellisense and auto-formatting of web-workbench while working with scss files? The auto-formatting just does not work well... and the intellisense using VS 2012 web essentials is a far better experience.

No, there are no controls to turn off intellisense or the syntax highlighting. Is there a specific problem with the formatting or intellisense you can highlight as we would certainly like to improve things if there is a problem.

Jeremy,

thanks for the response. The issues I have are listed below.

1. Intellisense Most of the time the intellisense just does not work. It pops up an intellisense list, but it does not filter the list based on what I have typed. It just shows everything starting at the beginning of the list. The web essestials extension for VS 2012 has auto-complete for css.

2. Another issue is when I have typed a selector like: .myclass{ then press enter it completely replaces it with something else. It is really annoying.

3. It interferes with the intellisense and auto-complete features withing web essentials, which seem to work pretty well.

Thanks, KB

Thanks for the feedback Kevin!

re: 1 & 2 - We are looking into updating the CSS intellisense to bring it more inline with VS and leverage the underlying VS functionality in 2012 if applicable based on this feature request: http://www.mindscapehq.com/thinktank/suggestion/433955 so we will be updating that once we have made some changes.

re: 3 - You will want to disable Web Essentials to avoid this. Unfortunately Web Essentials directly conflicts with Web Workbench which we have seen result in odd behaviour, unfortunately due to the way the Visual Studio extension model works this is inevitable for two plugins which are implementing the same hooks (e.g. intellisense for .less files).

I may be experiencing similar issues: http://www.screencast.com/t/fw4KfofZWHR4

Although I can't figure out how to turn off Web Essentials intellisense... any hints?

Ideally, users should have the option to choose between Web Workbench and Web Essentials intellisense.

Thanks, Rhys.

Ideally we could just turn off features that are broke and never seem to get completely fixed. I will probably just pull this out and use command line or code kit, as its less maddening. It's not like I mind using sublime or atom when I do want competent source highlighting and formatting anyway.

You can disable intellisense from WW under Tools/Options/Web Workbench, in the CSS Extensions section set "Show Intellisense for CSS Extensions" to False. Keep in mind that Web Essentials conflicts with Web Workbench as we try and hook mostly the same things so in general you are going to run into issues if you have both installed.

I use VS2010 and everytime I type colon ':' after a CSS property, an automatic value is added, followed by another colon.... this is really annoying. Is this a bug?

.class
{
   margin-left: auto:
}

Ditto.

I'm experiencing the same issue as alonso.torres.

VS 2010 with the latest version of workbench. This is very obnoxious behavior. Removing Web Essentials does nothing to fix the problem.
