Word Completion

Hi Jussi,

I would like to ask for a new feature in Zeus.
Instead of the project-wide word completion based on ctags, I would like to be able to perform word completion based on words defined in the current document only. The search for possible completions can be dynamic and not based on a database of pre-searched words.

Thanks, Amit

Hi Amit,

There is the WordComplete keyboard function that should already do this. This function is tied to the Edit, Auto Complete Word menu but naturally can also be bound to any keyboard key combination.

If you find a problem with the WordComplete keyboard function, just post a bug report

Cheers Jussi

Hi Jussi,

I encountered with a problem during auto word completion, while having 2 parameters with the same name (same string), but with different case, the auto word complete function return only one option, I would be glad to have the both options, since I am coding verilog HDL, which is a case sensitive language.

I have one more suggestion for the auto word completion function. When the result of the auto word completion function is a single option, make the completion automatically, with popping up the auto word complete options window choice.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Jussi,

Sorry for the concatenated suggestions replies.
I have one more suggestion for the auto word completion function.
Please enable the operation of the function while the cursor is standing in the middle of the word that required completion.

Thanks,
Alex.

That should be easy enough to do. Consider it done

Please enable the operation of the function while the cursor is standing in the middle of the word that required completion

So I assume by this you mean the auto complete should use the text from the start of word to the cursor for the completion search or should it use the whole word

Also how do you see this completing

Is the current word replaced with the completed word selected

Cheers Jussi

Hi Jussi,

I meant that the auto complete function should complete the whole word even if the cursor stands somewhere in the middle of the word, and consider the auto completin as it works when the cursor is in the end of the word.

Thanks,
Alex
