Remove [] square brackets from DocBlockr comment - sublimetext

I like the plugin DocBlockr for sublime text but I would like my comments to be a bit different.
The normal appearence:
And how I would like them to appear:
So the type, description without the [] square brackets is there anyway of doing this? I've googled and looked trought the documentation but couldn't find it. The lower images is directly taken from the documentation page.
I hope someone could help me with this as making comments would become a lot easier.

Yes, there is a way to do this, but you will have to do it individually for each language. I'll show you how to do it for PHP as an example. In order to do this, I'm going to assume you have PackageResourceViewer installed (you can install it through Package Control). Follow these steps:
Open up command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)
Type PackageResourceViewer: Open Resource and press Enter
Type DocBlockr and press Enter
Using the arrow keys, find the file named php.sublime-completions, and press Enter.
Doing this should open up the completions for your PHP files. You can make whatever modifications you want for your DocBlockr completions for the specific language.

Sublime Text disable goto animation

When using the goto function to bring my cursor to a particular line number, say 3017, how do I prevent Sublime from jumping around from line to line until I hit enter?
For instance, in that case, I would jump to the following lines:
3
30
301
3017 (finally)
Sublime Text 3 seems to have two "Goto Line" features:
one which is built in via the "Goto Anything" overlay. Internally, the command to execute this is show_overlay with the arguments {"overlay": "goto", "text": ":"}. This is the default, available from the Goto menu -> Goto Line, and with keybinding Ctrl+G. MattDMo is correct in his answer that it is not possible to disable fuzzy matching in this overlay.
one which is included in the "Default" package as a plugin and shows a small prompt panel at the bottom of the screen. Internally, the command to execute this is prompt_goto_line, with no arguments necessary. This implementation has the behavior you desire, and will only go to the specified line when you hit the enter key. It has no default way of accessing it, but read on... :)
The reason I have mentioned the internal commands above is because Sublime Text makes it possible to add or override keybindings, and also to change or add menu items, and the commands are used to instruct Sublime Text what action to perform.
Therefore, this means that you can choose to override the existing menu item and/or keybinding, (and/or you can create a new menu item and/or keybinding) to use the prompt_goto_line command. The two links I have just provided should give enough detail on how to perform these tasks, but if you would like more specific information, please let me know in a comment and I will provide it.
This feature is by design, and cannot be disabled. Most popup menus in Sublime feature "fuzzy matching", meaning you do not need to type the full search term, just a few letters (for example, pci finds Package Control: Install Package in the Command Palette). The menus also feature instant searching, which is what you are seeing. This means that you do not need to hit Enter to search, just start typing and the matches appear as you type.

Is there an auto-close curly brackets plugin for the Geany IDE?

Geany is the closest thing I can find to the perfect web development IDE. However, I can't find a way to automatically close curly brackets ({).
For example, typing:
function test()
{
..and pressing RETURN should cause this to happen:
function test()
{
// cursor ends up here (indented by 1 tab)
}
Is there anything that can make Geany do that?
This is a native feature of Geany,
Go to Preferences, then Completions, down there you can choose which one you want to auto close.
Check here for screenshots
You make something else:
If you want, open https://plugins.geany.org/autoclose.html and see "autoclose" plugin. You can install with :
sudo apt-get install geany-plugins-autoclose
and It is all
That isn't full answer to your question, but may be helpful.
I have Geany not in english, I make translations of menu's fields on my own.
Geany has a feature: when you type special text and press Tab, the text is going to be replaced with another text.
It works by default for if, else, for, while, do, switch and try.
Configuration of this feature is in [Tools]/[Config files]/[snippets.conf].
After doing some changes, save file and click [Tools]/[Reload configuration].
I added two lines to section C++:
class=class %cursor%%block%;\n
struct=struct %cursor%%block%;\n
With block=\s{\n\t%cursor%\n}
It doesn't let you press { Enter or { Tab to get
{
//cursor
}
because {=anything is ignored, I don't know why.
What you can do? You can have some another text, replaced using {\n\t%cursor%\n}, or define keybinding inserting it.
Geany can have user defined snippets. It is possible to open snippet configuration file from menu.
Tools ->
Configuration files ->
snippets.conf
Go to the language block where you want to add that feature.
For example:
[C]
if=if (%cursor%)%block_cursor%
else=else%block_cursor%
for=for (i = 0; i < %cursor%; i++)%block_cursor%
while=while (%cursor%)%block_cursor%
do=do\n{\n\t%cursor%\n} while (%cursor%)\n%cursor%
switch=switch (%cursor%)%brace_open%case %cursor%:\n\t\t%cursor%\n\t\tbreak;\n\tdefault:\n\t\t%cursor%\n%brace_close%%cursor%
At first it can be thought that the problem can be fixed just with adding this line
{=%\n{\n\t%cursor%\n}%
But Geany does not accept that when snippet is one non alphabetic character.
It will work for any other alphabetic character like this
b=%\n{\n\t%cursor%\n}% or bl=%\n{\n\t%cursor%\n}%
However I dont think it is what you want. The real solution you can find from geanys menu.
Edit
->Preferences
->Editor
->Completions
Tick the Auto-close quotes and brackets then click on apply and save
The Auto-close doesn't work if we place brackets inside another pair of brackets. For example, the inner bracket doesn't auto-close.{{|}
However, we can use the following snippet to create a block.
{={\n\t%cursor%\n}
But in order to use this snippet, we first have to include '{' char in our wordchars set by changing the below line in snippets.conf file.
wordchars=_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789{

TextMate question: how to move caret to next/previous blank line

See title. Is there already a simple key combination that does this that I can't find in the manual? Is there a command I can put in KeyBindings.dict to do this?
I was hoping moveToBeginningOfParagraph: would do it but that appears to just go to the beginning of the current line.
Help appreciated.
Don't know if it's built in, or if you can do it via an Emacs shortcut, but you can do it.
Record the following:
Open the Find dialog box. Click Regular expression, and find the following:
^$
Save this macro.

Reuse Edit Control as Command Window

This is a GUI application (actually MFC). I need a command window with the ability to display a prompt like such:
Name of favorite porn star:
The user should be able to enter text after the prompt like such:
Name of favorite porn star: Raven Riley
But I need to prevent the user from moving the cursor into the prompt area. Users should also be prevented from backspacing into the prompt in order to prevent the following:
Rrraven Rrrileeey Ruuuulez!!! Name of favorite porn star:
Also need to control text selection and so on. And finally, I should have no problem retrieving only the text the user entered (minus prompt text).
Will it be better to create my own window class from scratch (i.e inherit from CWnd) or should I reuse the Windows EDIT control (i.e. inherit from CEdit)?
A similar command window can be seen in AutoCAD and Visual Studio (in debug mode).
I think you'd be better off creating a subclass of CEdit and limiting filtering key-presses. I suppose the hard part is not letting the user move the caret to the prompt area, but you can probably write some code to make sure the caret always get sent back to where it belongs (the input part).
Anyway, if you really, really want to implement your own control (it's not that difficult after all) I recommend you read Jacob Navia's "technical documentation" on how he built the LCC compiler and environment. Actually, it seems the docs are not online anymore, but I'm sure you can get them through his e-mail (jacob#jacob.remcomp.fr).
Edit: I liked your previous example better. Keep it classy, LOL :)
I had a very similar requirement and did exactly what davidg suggested; subclassed a edit control and filtered key presses. This was actually using Qt not MFC but the principle will be exactly the same.
You need to remember to filter keys such as home as well as left and backspace. I just checked to see if the move would move the caret into the prompt and if it did ignored the keypress.
Another thing to watch for is pasting multiline text, you will have to choose whether to just paste the first line or all lines, adding the prompt on all lines after the first. When subclassing the control you get lots of behaviour which won't work exactly as you want it.

Is it possible to disable command input in the toolbar search box?

In the Visual Studio toolbar, you can enter commands into the search box by prefixing them with a > symbol. Is there any way to disable this? I've never used the feature, and it's slightly annoying when trying to actually search for something that you know is prefixed by greater-than in the code. It's particularly annoying when you accidentally search for "> exit" and the IDE quits (I knew there was a line in the code that was something like if(counter > exitCount) so entered that search without thinking).
At the very least, can you escape the > symbol so that you can search for it? Prefixing with ^ doesn't seem to work.
This is a really cool feature. I've poked through the feature documentation, and the accompanying command list, and not a heck of a lot is showing up in terms of turning it off.
If you want to search for >exit, you could always type >Edit.Find >exit in the search box; that seems to do the trick. A bit verbose, though, but it really is an edge case.
you can enter commands into the search box by prefixing them with a > symbol.
Wow, I didn't know that. Where do I find the list of possible commands?
I never actually use the search box, I've remapped ctrl+F to incremental search, which is usually ctrl+I
I find this much cooler than the normal search - give it a go, you might end up not caring about the search box anymore.
Wow, I didn't know that. Where do I
find the list of possible commands?
The commands are the same as those you can enter in the command window, so you can pretty much drive the entire IDE and debugger using it. There are a load of predefined aliases for common commands. Open up the command window and enter alias for a list, to get you started.
