Is it just me who finds the new text completion resulting from O/E merge
insufferably disruptive?
Whenever I've been editing in an existing method, and try moving back/forward
using arrow keys, instead of moving the cursor, it opens a browser on the
completion suggestion for whatever I'd just finished writing (if I go right),
or does jack squat (if I try moving left)...
Ironically, clicking the text editor anywhere BUT the completion dialogue
leaves the window open, and starts suggesting for whatever you type at the
cursors new location, while clicking ON any part of the popup-pane CLOSES it.
moving cursor with the mouse (not that you could before), only thing that works
is pressing escape, which is a natural key to reach for whenever you've
finished typing a word, no?
Not to mention, if there is only one suggestion, and that suggestion you've
already typed in completely, it DOES NOT CLOSE.
Suggestions:
- Don't hijack the arrow keys (at least not left/right) for autocomplete-popup
functionality.
- Close the fracking dialogue if the only suggestion it has is _exactly what is
already typed_
- Handle mouse-clicks on a suggestion by selecting it, clicks anywhere else in
the texteditor by closing it.
maybe I have some time at ESUG to fix this. The solution is to add options for
these behaviors,
so everybody is happy
You mean someone might LIKE
- keep getting suggested something they just typed?
- that the window doesn't close when they've clearly change context by
moving the cursor?
- that the window doesn't respond to mouse input to it by selecting what
you clicked on, but rather closing?
Cheers,
Henry
