Hi Joseph,
I love using the gui but I have a hard time dealing with autocomplete: is there a way to disable it in the txt editor?
You can disable "Automatically add characters" in the Preferences dialog. Could you please detail which autocompletions are particularly confusing for you?
I think that it would also be very useful to allow view of whitespaces and tabs and have a function to prettify the code itself (do you know any for xquery?)
Tabs and non-breaking spaces are visualized when activating "Show invisible characters" in that same dialog.
