 So, I copy and paste text into the Custom HTML widget. Oh, looks like I'm
 going to need to apply some tags. I'm used to hand-coding my stuff. So I
 go to enter an opening <p> tag, and it autocompletes. But I'm trying to
 wrap a paragraph already there. I don't need the tag autocompleted,
 because the closing tag isn't in the right place. This just makes a little
 more work for me because the autocomplete is also adding a space. I don't
 need the space. I have to remove it.

 Ex:

 <p>

 I'm suggesting there be a way to disable autocomplete of tags - maybe a
 checkbox in the widget - at the top of the widget.
