wouldn't it be better if api files were in xml with additional info included.
it would be more useful with a description field, and tags, such as keyword, function, method, constant, and so on.
together with the option of automatically opening up (without pressing Ctr-Space), and this additional info, it would be of much greater use. the way it is now is of little use for 2 reasons:
1. it's easier to finish the typing yourself if you know it, than pressing Ctrl-Space all the time
2. it doesn't provide any additional info on the use, so it's not really helpful or anything.
what do you think?
if someone would make the templates for such an xml api file, i'm sure some of us would gladly make an effort to implement the languages needed.....
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
maybe the function list (from the function list plugin) could be displayed in the auto-completion box together with the api defined words, and tagged as user-defined.....
cheers

just one more thought.... ;-)
