> tends to result in long lists The maximum size of the autocomplete menu is set (default 10) but the list can be longer than that, so you can't see the end items. That is the issue with long lists, because a wrap will be blind to items that are not visible yet.
I am aware that VScode behaves this way, and when I accidentally scroll up too far and wrap it switches to some item that is not visible in the menu and is usually some rubbish system library thing that has no relationship to what I am typing, contributing to my opinion that wrapping autocompletes, especially prioritised ones, may not be very useful in unscoped situations. I already said that the list is likely to be shorter in scoped autocompletes, but those tend to resolve to one very quickly in my experience, yours may differ. As stated it is my opinion that it will not be very useful, it is entirely reasonable to state an opinion, even if it disagrees with yours. Accepting that others may have differing opinions is part of open source software development where people have significantly differing experiences and use-cases. Even someone with your limited experience (half of mine) is listened to and engaged with, even if disagreed with. > from the staff There are no staff here, Geany is an entirely volunteer project, people contribute what they wish to use their own personal "spare" time for. > For me, after trying many good editors, for years, I found that it is > fundamental ! Since all Geany contributors are volunteers they are likely to contribute what they find is important to them, irrespective of how important it is to you. So far nobody has found it so fundamental in either the Geany or Scintilla projects that they have contributed it. But if it is so important to you then you can create a pull request to Scintilla to add the capability as I posted above, and then everybody can use it if they find it useful. At no time have I said it should not be implemented, just that I am of the opinion that it will not be very useful. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/3546#issuecomment-1689261680 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
