Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the quick reply. That worked exactly the way I wanted! I
had read the auto_arg Wiki page, but it didn't click that I had to
define a new list specifically for the command I wanted the tab
completion to work for (i.e. select). I thought it applied to all
commands.
So, for anyone else who is trying to do this, the command to have tab
completion use only loaded and visible object names *during select
statements* is as follows:
cmd.auto_arg[0]['select'] = [ lambda:
cmd.Shortcut(cmd.get_names("objects", enabled_only=1)), 'visible
object name(s)', '']
If you want tab completion to pull up loaded objects (visible or not)
as well as PDB files in the current working directory, it would be:
cmd.auto_arg[0]['select'] = [ lambda: cmd.Shortcut(cmd.get_names() +
glob.glob('*.pdb')), 'PDB file and object name(s)', '']
Best,
-Ron
