I've just downloaded Brackets and have some questions:

When I'm writing code, how do I select the auto-completion? For example, if I start to type "font-w" Brackets suggests "font-weight". In other code editors I click the 'tab' button to use the suggestion, but in Brackets this just adds in a tab space. I seem to have to select the suggestion with my mouse.

Will Brackets check/validate/lint my HTML & CSS code?

How do I get rid / close the 'Getting Started' folder in the left side bar?

@Mark-eee, let me try to help you:

1. To use the suggestion of the auto-completion you must hit 'enter' instead of 'tab';

2. Brackets usually shows in red when you insert something that can broke your code. For example: if you duplicate a closing tag, the next tag will be highlighted with red color;

3. I'm not sure, but if I remember well the Getting Started folder will always appear in the left side bar if you don't have any other folder loaded into Brackets.

Thank you!

2. Are there 'linter' extensions I can add to check my site/files?
3. Am I correct in thinking that there is no way to not have a folder in the left side bar? I think I'm going to find that frustrating. I might make a blank folder and open that, rather than have the Getting Started folder. Unless there are benefits to having a Folder in Brackets?

2. Yes, there is some extensions which can do that, but you need to see if they are not deprecated. You can find them in the Extension Manager (File > Extension Manager), then search for 'Lint';
3. Exactly, there is no way to not have a folder in it. It is good if you are working on a big project with many files, it makes easier to access them. Although, you can still edit files there are not in the folder of the side bar.

Bracket gives all the auto suggestions in a dropdown-content where we can pick one which we want have a look at the picture attached below, so no point of tab and Getting started will not be there once you open a folder on which you want to work on.

If you still face any problems, please let us know, Thank You!
