Autocompletion Optimization

[BeeRich33]

Hi folks.  

Just wondering how I can get my Ruby modules and methods into 
autocomplete.  I just started LSP and it doesn't seem to be doing much for 
me, but I tripped over that new feature while reading up on 
autocompletion.  I thought it might have a way of sniffing my module/method 
files.  

The vast majority of my current work is in a development file at path 
*~/app.rb*.  I include *~/methods.rb* and *~/classes.rb* whose entries are 
currently not showing up as autocomplete qualifiers in the popup.  How can 
I get these to show up?  Is there a way to format the output?  

example: Modulename::methodname

Second question:  This autocomplete popup has 6 suggestions, with scrolling 
for further options.  Can I increase this value somehow, or even have it 
expand to the height of my display?  I searched Expert Prefs, but found 
nothing.  

I could export my preferred formats to text files for dummy clippings, but 
I'm thinking there is a better way of doing this.  

Cheers

You are probably looking for "ctags". BBEdit has first-class support for 
them, so have a look in the manual and see if that will do what you're 
looking for.

I guess the question is, which I left out, was "can this be done?"  And/or 
"What am I doing wrong?"

Autocompletion Population

[BeeRich33]

Hi folks.

I'd like to have autocompletion of the modules/methods names that I 
create.  I can crontab a script that can export filenames and contents of 
the *modulename.methodname* to a folder that's been set up properly in the 
*Clippings* folder.

I was hoping to have them available in context when developing, but for 
some reason they aren't taking.  They show up in the clippings Palette (the 
permanent pallette, to be clear), so they work.  They just don't show up in 
autocomplete, which I have set to manual.

The manual says Clippings are included in the autocomplete options.  

I'm on version 12.1.6 if that makes any difference.  It shouldn't. 

Any insight appreciated.  Cheers

autocompletion ?

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

I was wondering if there was something like Coda's automatic autocompletion 
suggestions...
For people who don't know, when you start typing a CSS property, Coda displays 
a drop-down when the possible values are shown, then it displays another 
drop-down for the possible values of that property. That's extremely useful and 
makes typing much faster.
For HTML, the dropdown displays all the possible attributes and then again all 
the possible values (including class names).

Also what about reindenting the selection ? In Emacs, when you have a selection 
you can get a reindentation based on the context.

I'm still using 11, so I may be missing features only present in 12.

Javascript autocompletion

[Sotiris Ioannou]

Hello folks,

I'm sorry if that has been asked before but I couldn't find anything on the 
internet.

I already know how to make clippings in BBEdit 11 and I've done some for 
python and javascript.

Today though accidentally I've noticed that when I type a ?php echo ? for 
example I get the auto completion for the function. As I've never created 
clippings for PHP I'm wondering where this auto completion comes from. 
Also, I'm wondering is there a similar thing for other languages as well 
(Such as Javascript for example?). If not, where is BBEdit storing the auto 
completion files for php to take a look at them?

Thank you very much in advance.

Sotiris

Searching for suggested autocompletion entries

[Chuck Quast]

Certainly! 

So how do you think autocompletion works? Or how do you think 'search' works?

Now pony up the dough and find out the many other ways BBEdit can enhance your 
life, your lordship! 

(Should lordship be capitalized? BBEdit doesn't seem to know that! hmmm...)

Hello Matze,

 suggestion list, directly. 

Yes.

In the {Editing} prefs tab:

--
Show text completions:

( ) After a delay in typing
(•) Only manually

You can trigger completion at any time using the “Complete item on the Edit 
menu.
--

I have {Complete} assigned to F1.

There's a pop-up menu that filters down as you type.

 Which is without switching to CMD-F.

Cmd-F is 'Find' and has nothing to do with autocomplete.

 If so, please tell me how, and then I'd love to buy BBEdit.


BBEdit is not a perfect fit for everyone, but it's one of the few apps that 
runs 24/7 on my system.

There's a fully functioning trial version, so give it a workout and see for 
yourself if it can meet your needs.

BBEdit CSS autocompletion

[Greg Brown]

Hi,

When editing CSS with BBEdit, I find obscure css property names always seem 
to come up first in the autocomplete list - for example, when I type 'w' 
it'd be great if width came up first, since 99.9% of the time that's what 
I'm after. Instead I have to type 'widt' before width comes up first in the 
list.

Does anyone have any solutions to this problem? Ideally the properties 
would be ordered on frequency of use rather than alphabetically, but I'd be 
happy if I could just purge the ones I don't use from the list. Is there 
any way to do this?

Thanks,
Greg Brown

Re: BBEdit CSS autocompletion

[Micky Hulse]

I don't have a solution, but I totally agree.

I posted a similar question here:

CSS hints/auto-fill
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/bbedit/Y5V293MxH2Q/discussion

You should be able to find addons around here:

1. http://www.barebones.com/support/

There might be something there that you could use to tweak the
hints... I have not looked.

Again though, in my example, I don't find -moz-none very helpful...
Seems like a similar problem/complaint as yours. :)

Anyway, +1.

Micky

Autocompletion isn't autocompleting on some files

[Ken]

While autocomplete correctly autocompletes HTML tags in an existing
document I created in BBEdit 9.02, it does not complete tags in a new
document, even after I save it as foo.html. Autocompletion for
dictionary words works. How do I get HTML autocompletion to work in a
new document?

Autocompletion isn't autocompleting on some files

[Ken]

OK, I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I am using BBEdit
9.02 on a fully updated 10.5 Mac. Just  installed the update from 8.x.
Now that it has Autocomplete, I started paying attention to clippings.
I added a couple of new clipping files to the HTML set, and was
working with them in a document last night. Everything worked fine.

This morning I open a new document. None of my HTML autocompletes are
completing. OK, I save the document as foo.html. Still, no
autocompletes. Regular words out of the dictionary are autocompleting,
but nothing from the HTML set.

I go to the clippings menu. HTML is checked under Change set and all
the HTML commands are listed in the menu below the divider. In
Preferences/Editing General Show text completions is set to After a
delay in typing. In Preferences/Languages.

And! And!!! When I go back to the document I was working on last
night, THE COMPLETIONS WORK FINE.

What am I missing

Autocompletion -- getting it happening in HTML?

[Hugh Todd]

I'm a bit puzzled by the autocomplete feature, wondering if there's  
something I need to activate or install to get it happening properly  
in HTML.

(As an aside, I'd love to have a better Help system. Perhaps this  
would have made things clearer.)

In an HTML document I press p, and get a C symbol in a circle and  
Page Template as a suggestion. Not a paragraph.

I press ul and get nothing.

I enter li and get the C symbol again, and Link as the suggestion.

I enter h and get nothing.

I enter h3 cl and get nothing. (looking for class)

d nothing. div leads to a W symbol in a rounded square, and  
dictionary suggestions. No HTML suggestions.

What am I missing?

(CSS seems to work fine, once the .css file is saved.)
