Comment on Show HN: Scratchpad.io - a real-time HTML and CSS editor

Absolutely amazing. A couple things that bother me, and they might just be from Ace.js:

When typing text into a <p> or an <h1> for example, if I type "I'm", I get the smart double quote feature, and end up typing:

I'm going to the zoo'

Likewise, if I go back into the stream of some text in a <p>, and want to wrap it in a span, if I click at the start of it and type <span id="foo">, I get another span on the other side of my cursor, pushing the existing text over.

Otherwise, utterly fantastic tool. Trying to use it for real work already :)

Thanks so much, Scott! That is indeed an ace default, but I can try and figure out how to override it. Syntax completion is always tricky.
