RE: [Boa Constr] boa 0.2.1

[Bryan W. <Bry...@wa...>]

keven,

thanks... i rebound the dedent value to shift-tab and it works great.  i
still have a problem with the code-completion feature.  i see that you
have to press ctrl-space to get the popup.  i type the following:

imported time
time.

then i pressed ctrl-space and a code-completion popup was displayed but
didn't show any methods/properties of time.  also, do i really have to
do a ctrl-space to get the popup to display?  every program i've used
with this feature automatically pops up methods/properties if you delay
at the dot for some period of time (something like a second or two).  if
boa doesn't have this auto-popup feature, can i rebind the key
combination to some more reasonable then ctrl-space?

thanks,

bryan

All of the features mentioned are available, just perhaps not obvious.
If you right-click in the editor, the features, and the hot-keys to
activate are listed.  Depending on your platform, some of the key
sequences might not work, as some of the desk-top managers default
configuration is set to get them before Boa does.

All of the key-bindings can be re-configured in the Preferences section
of the Explorer tab.  Detent is the same as unTAB.

Kevin
