James Cuénod:
What about a tooltip type thing where if u hit some non-editing key it gives the tooltip focus and then it behaves like the good ol' auto complete dialog thing? That could be pretty easily implemented couldn't it?
Manipulating focus is messy cross-platform: its simplest if Scintilla always has focus but then interprets the keys differently as the mode changes. The original enabling and disabling of Tab or Enter would be fairly easy if someone wants to think up an API and implement it. You can't really just have a SetCompletionKey call since the default allows multiple keys and this is liked by many and compatible with other editors such as Visual Studio. BTW, I don't use any automatic autocompletion as its always annoying so just perform the completion command when I want autocompletion. Philippe:
I can be mistaken, but I didn't found Ctrl+space in the SciTE documentation (before posting previous message), nor in Scintilla's KeyMap.cxx (right now).
I expect it is in there just for Visual Studio compatibility as it is equivalent to Ctrl+I which is shown in the Edit menu. If the documentation says Ctrl+Space is Complete Symbol then the user may get confused as to whether there is any difference between the two keys.
