Hey,
Maybe we should add some information about this. What is worth to be mentioned?
- the configurable keybinding to trigger an auto-completion list
(Ctrl-Space) or by typing more than 4 characters (also configurable)
- hiding the list with Escape or with any non-matching character
- selecting an item with Space/Tab/Mouse click
- special auto-completion when using Ctrl-Space which contains not
only known symbols, but also all matching words of the current document, if enabled
- special '.' / '->' auto-completions
I didn't know about this, so not in patch, hows it work?
Maybe Nick can give some more detailed words about this.
- what else?
If anyone of you is bored enough, a patch with some text would be cool :).
Attached, a first go at it anyway.
It's in SVN. However, I changed 'keycode' to 'keybinding' which is more consistent with the rest of the text. And I removed the double spaces after full stops you entered. Not sure whether this was on purpose or by accident but to me it looks ugly and is uncommon, AFAIK.
The rest was just great, many thanks.
We both may live to regret this offer but here goes anyway... One of my previous jobs was a very picky technical reviewer and I am willing to give the manual a "wash and brush up". The upside of this is that I will make all the small fixes, the downside is that I will suggest any major items to you, although of course you can always ignore the suggestions :-)
Sure, why not. IIRC Frank intended to do something similar some time ago but never heard of any progress since then. In general, improvements and fixes are welcome. Just keep in mind, in contrary to you and Nick, I'm not a native English speaker, so I won't argue about any verbalization issues with you :).
