Hey,
When typing a function call, the calltip is shown when the '(' is typed. It is then replaced by autocomplete suggestions as the parameter is typed. If the autocomplete is accepted then the calltip is re-displayed, but if the autocomplete is not accepted, such as by typing ',' then the tooltip is not re-displayed, very annoying. I know I can re-display it manually by twisting my fingers into a knot ;-) but automatic would be better.
You know you can re-configure the keybinding for showing calltips :)
Yeah, but running out of keycodes, too many functions in Geany ;-) anyway don't need to now :-)
We definitely need keyboards with way more than 105 keys, basic design failure :).
Also I noticed that the manual doesn't describe symbol autocompletion operation and the keycodes for accept and dismiss. It does for snippets, but not for symbol autocomplete.
You mean Enter/Tab to accept an item and Escape to cancel an auto-completion list?
Yeah, I could see where the snippets section talks about its autocomplete, but not symbol autocomplete. In fact the only mention of symbol autocomplete, besides in the list of features on page 1, seems to be buried in the tags section and nothing about how its UI works. And I only found that reference by searching the document for "auto" when I was trying to check that I understood how it should work before I reported the bug.
Indeed. 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 - what else?
If anyone of you is bored enough, a patch with some text would be cool :).
