Did you know that you can have Studio automatically close quotes, pounds, and comments when you enter an opening one?

Some folks find this fabulous, some can't stand it. That's why Allaire makes it an option, and one that's turned off by default. To turn it on, in 4.01, see Options>Settings>Tag help>Tag completion and then choose Settings and choose any of the 4 "auto close" options offered.

In 4.5, not only is it in a different place, there's the option to enter new autoclose items. See Options>Settings>Editor>Auto Completion. You need to turn on the "auto completion" checkbox at the top of the window, and then choose which items you want to have autocompleted.
