Usecase?

Avoid tweaking spaces manually. I feel it more annoying to have some, but not all, autocompleted (what it is doing now) than to have no autocomplete at all.

Given it already have some, it shouldn't (?) be difficult to add some spaces in code autogeneration patterns.

You mean you want to code editor to enforce our JS coding style in the code that is being authored ?

I'm not sure if that is possible right now. Besides, even jshint is moving style checks out of their code in the longterm, that probably would make it even more difficult.

Not to enforce (eg. automatic reformat on submit) something, but autogenerated code should follow the MediaWiki coding style guide, or don't autogenerate anything at all.

So what you mean, is that if you write function(test) in the editor, it will correct it to function( test )

Right ?

Well let me explain my original use case.

The basic framework of JavaScript files is:

( function( $, mw ) {
    // something
} )( jQuery, mediaWiki );

With CodeEditor, I type:

"( function( $, mw ) {\n\t// something"

one by one, where \n\t is an Enter keypress then a Tab. What appears is:

( function( $, mw ) {
	// something
})

and I have to move the cursor after "}", then add a space, then press Right, then everything left, instead of a simple Down then continuing typing (with space auto-added). This also happens to every anonymous-function-as-argument case.

Ah. I understand. As far as I know, that's not possible at the moment and would require implementation upstream in https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace
