Code Completion / GUI bug -> preferences

[benny]

Hi.

Today is the first day that I have finally some spare time to play around
with the new 4.0 version of pb and the enhanced ide and it feels great

Two little points about the editor I would like to point out :


Code Completion

Nice to see it is finally implemented. Generally I would prefer to have the
option that the code completion pop up'd automatically while typing.

Another point about the code completion is that when I type for example :

Code: Select all

test

and press STRG+SPACE the code completion shows up with TextGadget
marked. I would prefer a behaviour like in Eclipse so that just all optional
commands appear in the code completion window which really starts with
the letters test.


GUI bug -> preferences

When I open the preferences and click on editor it seems to me
that there is a minor gui bug. The editor-frame is too small and the last
3 gadgets (Save settings to, tab length ... ) are out of this frame.


Again, these are just wishes / minor bugs ... the editor itselfs runs very
stable and is really cool in my eyes ... so keep up the good work

For the two first: There are such options in the preferences.
For the second one: It's because of a last-minute-added option. I'd be surprised if they haven't noticed and fixed it yet.

@Trond:

Thx for the reply. I have to admit that I didnt checked all options yet, because
I just started testing the ide today.

However it is not exactly what I meant. If I select the option :

Display only words that begin with the typed word

it doesnt automatically update the box.

E.g. if you type in Text then a box appears with all commands starting
with Text. If I go on typing e.g. TextG the box remains with all
entries. In my eyes it would be cooler if in that case the box would
only show TextGadget and deletes all other entries which don't match anymore.

Anyone who used Eclipse knows what I mean ...

Nevertheless ... as I said before ... this is just my personal wish

Yes, I see what you mean now. I also though about that when I first started with the code completion but now I forgot about it.
