    Hi,

    First, thank you for the excellent IDE! I really enjoy this program, after using eric, emacs, and idle :-)

    After using Boa (CVS 2.6, on Linux running Python 2.3 - GTK) for a day, I have a few questions...

    Is there a way to have calltips and completion pop up automatically? I know there may be a preference somewhere, but I havent found it yet.

    When setting the SashPosition property of a wxSplitterWindow in the designer, I can't enter a value above 100. Is this a problem with gtk? Also, is there a way to reverse the side (distance from the bottom, top) that the SashPosition property acts on?

    And lastly, how do you use the Todo view? I would love to be able to manage my todos, but I can't find a way to create them anywhere.

    Thanks again,

    Chromakode

      Chromakode,

      I can't answer most of what you said because I literally just started using Boa today (I love it so far!).  Anyhow, according to the tutorial, to create a TODO you just put a comment with 3 X's after the hash in your code.  e.g.,

      def doSomething(self):
        # XXX We need to implement this method!
        pass

      Hope that helps.

      Hi Chromakode,

      About code-completion, it's not supported to pop up automatically (I find the delays for the action when you don't actually want code completion intolerable!)

      About the SashPosition, there is nothing in the Boa code that limits this value so it must be wxGTK.
      There is no feature to "reverse the side" that I know of, sorry.

      About Todos, like Atul said, simply prefix with
      # XXX A todo

      To indicate priority you may end the todo with !
      The more !s, the higher the priority.

      Cheers,
      Riaan.
