Re: Script Editor Autocomplete Optional?

Monte

Respond to your previous "disheartened"  

don't be!

Just downloaded 9.0.0 DP9

For all the gorilla dust around this new feature which I had not actually see 
yet, I was wondering..

But now, wow this is awesome!

How often to I set an itemdelimiter? sheesh "like all the time"

and auto complete leaves the "characters" selected and when you type a quote, 
wraps it and then keeps it selected so you type underscore and it is inserted. 
Magic!

Thanks for all the hard work on this!

this does look pretty cool. I'm fairly amazed at what you've accomplished.

I agree that it will also be nice if more people use it because it will
encourage more verbose, easier to read syntax use.
Now...can we get code folding and block marking?  Can we?  Can we?
PLEEEASE?

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 (

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.

Hehe - of course, another point of view is that it means you can save 
your typing effort on using more verbose object, handler and variable 
names ;)


For me, I say run with it. When its all tuned up and shiny I expect to 
love it!


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 
away from 'home' position to use it or cancel it - which slows down 
typing considerably)...


However, I really like Mike's idea of having a middle 'not-quite-off' 
option - where you can use a shortcut key to autocomplete at any point. 
This would save a roundtrip to the dictionary to remind myself of 
specific syntax - the completion list would be enough of a 'reminder'.

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?

[** Clarence P Martin ** via use-livecode]

I am impressed with the Auto Complete. This was something that several people 
made a point of, saying that LiveCode was incomplete without. I believe that it 
is like everything else in life, People are resistant to change and once it 
happens we will get used to it. 
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.
Ricky Nelson's song Garden Party (for those who remember) said it best "you

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: 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.

Hmm… two slightly different things there. Bracket completion and autocomplete.

It sounds like you should report the issues you are having also Richard. 
Hopefully we can make things a little smarter in the cases that are frustrating 
you.

Rick, please post the bug report URL here so we can follow along.

I appreciate the intention of auto-complete, and can see how it may be 
useful for writing a new line, but when editing an existing line it 
keeps adds closing quotes and closing brackets where I already have them 
further on in the line, costing me significant time to clean up.


I may resurrect my old custom script editor plugin in the meantime so I 
can get back to working efficiently

Script Editor Autocomplete Optional?

[Rick Harrison via use-livecode]

Hi there,

I was wondering, if I find I don’t like the
new Script Editor Autocomplete function
because I find it too distracting, can I turn
it off?  I think the ability to turn it off might
be important to some people.
