CodeCompletion

[Daniel Pozmanter]

A fellow named Rene emailed me with a very useful request:  autocomplete in the prompt.

Problem is, although it was a simple matter to rework the code so that it works in the prompt, hitting enter causes the prompt to get all excited, and act like I was entering a new line of code, instead of just completing a word.

So.

What I need to do is figure out a way to keep this from happening before I can release the next version of the plugin.

Hello Dan,

is it possible to restrict the code completion to
python files? (else I get always unwanted completition
in txt or c file and unwanted delays).

def OnAutoComplete(event):
=>if DrFrame.txtDocument.filetype != DrFrame.txtDocument.PYTHON_FILE:
=>=>event.Skip()
=>=>return

with this new constant should do the trick.

Thanks.  I should get to this.

What I REALLY need to do is overhaul the update namespace code.  This is WAY too slow.

I think I will rewrite the way this plugin gets the info for both calltips and autocompletion.

I am thinking of adding a feature to allow users to toggle autocompletion and calltips on and off.  (This way you can only have it active when you want it).

Yes, you're right; it is way to slow and this is
very annoying.

Hm, in pycrust, it is very fast.

I like the idea with the toggle mechanism.
