Then you accidentally delete the open bracket and the predictive naming gives options for similarly named functions or objects, so you hit delete again (because you haven't really internalized how to avoid every type of autofill on every app that's shoving it down your throat), the suggestion list grows, so you hit space, thinking that you just need a little fucking space to think, which fills the autotext, so you hit space again because at least there will be a fucking space to suppress the suggestion list, you hit the left arrow key to hop over your Demilitarized Zone Space, delete the erroneous element and start typing, but that plugin you installed last week autotrims trailing spaces (what a time saver!), so once you finally get the function/object name you look away and hit the right arrow to hop over that DMZ Space, but that space isn't there, so your cursor goes to the next line and you start to type, and when you look back to see this, you start hitting delete until the cursor gets back to the line above, but you hit delete one too many times and delete the open bracket, so the predictive naming shows up...

Yes, but you have been given a gift of 1 bracket by the IDE gods! They wouldn't just GIVE you a bracket if you weren't supposed to use it! Such a waste of brackets. I mean, it's not like a semicolon, let's not get greedy, but still...
This but quotation marks
