Re: Script Editor Autocomplete Optional?

[Scott Morrow via use-livecode]

Don’t be disheartened! I agree with Jacque that while I might not want to have 
it running all the time, there would be times where it would be very useful. 
Being able to switch it off would be good… but being able to switch it ON will 
be good too!

I've just added the following comment:

It may be useful to clarify is this going to be the 'Documentation'
pane that already exists at the bottom of the SE or is it going to be
a different pane. Also, how is the content/functionality going to be
different from the current Documentation pane.

>From my own perspective, I already use the Documentation pane as an
aide-memoire and if necessary I can copy the example and paste it into
the SE. What I'd like to see is rather than the single most complex
example given, a list of examples from simplest to most complex and
instead of having to revert to the mouse to copy and paste, option-1,
option-2 etc to copy the chosen variation into the line where the
insertion point is.

To me this allows 'autocompletion' to be turned On or Off by selection
of the pane (be it the Documentation or some other named pane), the
location of the suggestions is constant and less invasive, and the
keystrokes to use is always just two (option + a number); no
navigating down a list then typing the activation key.

Question from the blog post (
https://livecode.com/new-autocomplete-live-errors-in-livecode-8-2/)
In the snippet manager, you only define the name:type pair once, the first
time that it is used, in the examples.  Other places in the script, you
only list the name.  Does the name:type line have to appear first?  Can it
appear last?

Yes, I’ll probably hook up right arrow and tab to do the same things. With the 
idea of grouping command variants so you can see more types of command and move 
into a variant when you know what you want I really needed to hook up right to 
move in to the group and left to move out. So it makes sense that right and tab 
are the same. Tab is a bit more convenient if the first thing on the list is 
what you want as you can then tab through the placeholders etc.

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

My response to this will consist of interleaved comments as the matter 
it addresses goes far further than

the "question" about auto-completion.

Oh, and Please check out the pictures, they are groovy!

Richmond.

I believe that it is like everything else in life, People are resistant to

This is NOT change as in sea-change, it is a way of helping people who 
feel they need help with scripting.


I am quite sure I could get used to auto-completion in the same way as 
I've got "used to" the suggestions that crop up in the

Message Box: doesn't stop me cursing them and disliking them intensely.

The reason why many long-term users of LiveCode/Revolution/Metacard 
stuck to the Metacard front-end/GUI was they DIDN'T want
to work in a Nanny-State environment: if the recent additions of listing 
possible handlers were not turnable-offable, and the auto-complete
feature is not made that way as well, then LiveCode will "turn off" the 
folk who prefer to do things that way.


This is why my wife has stopped telling me when to change my shirt; 
because it intensely annoyed me and I am perfectly capable of
working that out for myself; and, unlike many wives/husbands/partners I 
have heard about, loves me enough to respect my judgement.


I am well aware we live in a world of increasing dumbing down, and to a 
certain extent I see auto-completion as part of that:


I first encountered this when at the "University" of Abertay, where a 
certain Mrs Lobster (name changed from that of another crustacean
to make her even more ridiculous than she was already) was supposed to 
be teaching Masters degree students Visual BASIC (there
was no explanation of the rationale behind that), and told me my code 
was no good because it did not adhere to the guidelines in
a very stupid book on VB that had been chosen as the course book (I 
didn't buy it as at £65 and a quick flick through it in the bookshop
I thought I'd rather go and splurge that money on a rather groovy LEGO 
set for me kids). When I pointed out that the code did what it was meant to
(i.e. it got the computer to crunch the numbers and spit the required 
answers out at the end) she said that was "beside the point" as
my code was "non-canonical": where this extremely limited person had 
picked up such a poncy term as "non-canonical" one can only

wonder!

People are resistant to change; but there are 3 types of change:

1. Change that brings with it improvements and benefits.

2. Change for change's sake.

3. Change that is 100% unnecessary but driven by other, hidden, 
considerations.


Now auto-completion DOES fall into category #1 for a certain proportion 
of users.


HOWEVER, I showed LC 8.2 to "Little Maxim" today (an 11 year old, 
"squeaky little devil" who did programming with me in the Summer),

and he said, "Oh, that just gets in the way of what I want to do."

Little Maxim, and a whole slew of other kids learnt BBC BASIC with me 
this Summer on BBC computers . . .


This enabled them to learn many of the fundamental bits and concepts of 
programming: on computers made between 1984 and 1988.


I bought a whole bunch of BBC computers from eBay at £10-30 each, and 
rigged up to old cathode-ray TVs (which are FREE all over the place)

served in exactly the way required.

Little Maxim and chums (wow, there's a supposedly outdated word that 
means exactly what I want here) then "graduated" to Livecode, reproducing

all the stuff they had done with BBC BASIC without a backward glance.


I agree that there should be some way to turn it off for those that don't want 
to use it.
My feeling is that any optional features are better than none.


Of course they are, as long as "optional" is not lost sight of.

Try saying "Optional" to Tim Cook . . .

I have a teapot that is made of enamelled cast-iron,

https://cdn-img-3.wanelo.com/p/337/091/637/a35848ef24f15a5b1fe9948/x354-q80.jpg

that I bought in Robertson's Shop in Union street in St. Margaret's 
Hope, South Ronaldsay,

Orkney

https://c1.staticflickr.com/4/3079/2903156048_b8fffeb4c2_b.jpg

in 1985 . . . it has travelled around the world with me, and I have used 
it to:


1. Make tea.

2. Make coffee.

3. Brew Hibiscus.

4. Water plants.

5. Clean out my children's potties when they were babies.

6. Cook soup.

Now if Mrs Robertson had given me a long list of DOs & DON'T with the 
teapot I would have told her to "boil her head".


If Mrs Robertson had fitted the teapot with a detector which would have 
stopped it working whenever I attempted to use it
for anything other than making tea I would have walked across the road 
to Doull's and sought out a teapot there:

I must confess I tend to turn AutoComplete off in most environments as I 
tend to find it gets in the way (usually you have to move your fingers

typing considerably)...


However, I really like Mike's idea of having a middle 'not-quite-off'

Re: Script Editor Autocomplete Optional?

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

Don't feel bad, the requests for autocomplete have been constant over the 
years and I think far more people will want it than not. For myself, I'm at 
the far end of minimalism, I don't even use script colorization. Anything 
that distracts my eye gets turned off. I had the same problem with the new 
handler list suggestions because they interrupted my spacial memory of 
where in the list my own handlers should be.


I do think I might use it on those occasions when I can't remember a term, 
which usually happens with newly introduced features. The suggestion to put 
a quick toggle into the contextual menu is very tempting for that reason. 
Another reason for a toggle is to turn it on while writing new scripts and 
toggle it off when debugging or editing existing ones.


This isn't an issue for me of "not liking change", I enthusiastically 
embraced the new bracket completion. It's just a visual distraction issue, 
which I don't deal with very well for some physical reasons.

Re: Script Editor Autocomplete Optional?

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

Well regardless of what anyone else says I love the auto-complete feature of 
GLX2, so I'm all for it so long as it doesn't as some have said make you work 
harder to uncorrect things, but that is just a matter of ironing things out, 
much like we all do daily with our own code.

The right-click contextual menu where you "Find in Docs" would be a good
place to toggle "Autocomplete On" / "Autocomplete Off".

Maybe a little more nuanced control over it would be nice, but turning it
on/off is a start.  For example, I'd like to be able to use a shortcut to
use it when I want it - perhaps option-tab or something similar.

Re: [ANN] Release 8.2.0 DP-1

[James At The Hale via use-livecode]

Community Plus is a brilliant idea.
Fills the gaping void that Apple inflicted on us by not allowing the Community 
version to submit to App Store.
Other pluses...
* autocomplete is very nice.
* It is not $99
* it does have some nice extras to provide some extra kit for iOS.
* it also comes at a educational price point that is attractive.
* finally all the license versions can be seen and compared on the main site.

Well done.

Re: Script Editor Autocomplete Optional?

[Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode]

Yes, I suppose it may be a little disheartening, but, however clever 
autocompletion may be, it will not suit

all people.

The fact that Autocomplete has been implemented is a great enhancement, 
and my request to turn it off was

NOT meant as some sort of denigration of it.

In fact, I am quite sure that when I prepare my coding classes for next 
Summer I may leverage autocompletion quite

extensively.

Indeed . . .

And as an anti-Autocomplete person I'm looking forward to further 
instances of 8.1.7 until

Autocomplete becomes optional in 8.2.
