[Pydev-code] Code completion

[Fabio Z. <fa...@in...>]

I am not familiar with scintilla, but I think it is something similar to
what you said, but it doesn't pop any suggestions.

Example:
If I have 'to' and press, let's say Alt+Space (that's what I use)
It puts 'toto' (without any pop up...)
if I press it again, it goes to the next suggestion - toBlaBla
until it gets to the point where it goes back to 'to'.=20

Sometimes it works better than real code completion, because it tends to =
be
faster, because it is simpler to implement and it doesn't have to pop =
any
suggestion (and when editing something, most of the time, you just want =
to
complete simple words from the same editor and don't want to know about
comments or anything else, since you are working on it).=20

Netbeans has something similar with Ctrl+K.

The lunar-eclipse plugin has this functionality; it looks in all the =
open
editors and uses any text that completes it. It also has some nice =
features
on Rectangular editing things (http://lunar-eclipse.sourceforge.net/ )

Have you already checked http://www.zclipse.org/CompleteClipse/ ? I =
didn't
see it in too much detail, but it seemed useful for code completion.


Regards,

	Fabio

Aleks,
I am sneaking some time to work on autocompletion at the moment.
Might as well add me to the developers' list.
My SFid =3D=3D dana_virtual

Bill,
Thanks for getting something working. It prods me into keeping up with =
the
rest of the group.

Thanks for the very comprehensive discussion of autocomplete =
requirements.
Although I had thought about imports, I had not even thought about the
situation of subclassing. Thanks for reminding us!
Right at the moment, I am just trying to hook Aleks parsed methods tree =
and
using that to try to completion for the current document. If I can get =
to
that level of sophistication, then I will look at imports and =
subclassing.

You said:
"Allied  with simple text-completion, it would make for a really good=20
environment for editing python  (I've been using
the lunar-eclipse plug-in and it has already done python editing in=20
eclipse almost unbeatable - maybe we could
try to get in contact with its authors and distribute it together with=20
pydev - if it's ok with you, I'll get in touch
with its authors and integrate it in pydev...)"

When you say 'text completion' are you thinking about the kind of text
completion like scintilla does, where if you enter the word 'toto' in =
the
text, and some time later begin typing 'to', it offers a suggestion of
'toto'. You can then hit TAB or ENTER and it deposits the text for you?

OR
Do you mean autocompletion such as we are working one?

ALSO,
I would add to your list the kind of code generation that you get when =
you
enter 'if'-CTRL-SPaceBar in the Java Dev Toolkit. when you do that, the
editor offers several kinds of if, if-else constructions. You choose one =
and
it deposits the code and positions the cursor in the right place. I know =
how
to do that and can finish it after we get further on with the =
autocompletion
work.


ALSO,=20
Can you say more about the lunar-eclipse stuff. What can we use from it?

Regards,=20
