I have one question though: Does Geany support or will it support calltips for the following languages:
- python like for instance in Editra:
On the screenshot there are not calltips shown but usual symbol autocompletion. This is basically possible with Geany,
another screen shot from PyDev: http://pydev.sourceforge.net/images/codecompletion/codecompletionattr1.png
For instance Stanis IDE recognises imported modules in python and then provides the namespace as calltip. from easygui import easygui easygui.{msgbox} {choicebox}
These are not calltips, at least not in Geany. You are talking about symbol auto completion. And again, this feature is available but you need some data. At the moment, I'm not sure how to create a tags file for this. Nick, could maybe the --generate-tags be used?
As you probably might have experienced, Geany already suggests you known methods in the current file while typing. Calltips are even more than this. Calltips mean the whole method/function signature, i.e. the return value and the arguments.
- CSS
Mainly the same as for Python: it's basically possible but one has to create a list with known common symbols.
again, see above. I expect to have something like: background-color:{color} width{px,|em,etc.}
I think for CSS a tags list can be created manually, at least for the most common symbols. But it seems symbol auto completion for CSS doesn't work completely. I'll have a look at this.
