Is there a way to turn "Code Assist" off in a single workspace?

Hi All,

I love "Code Assist"!!! I can't say that enough, but I have some classes that map messages (very large) that go to other systems, kind of like structures. I have #printOn: code that displays them so I can better see what's inside. Because they are so large, I wrap things with braces, brackets, parenthesis and such. All this gets "Code Assist" thinking unnecessarily, to the point of slowing down my now quite old little duel core chip.

I don't want to turn off "Code Assist" everywhere, just in one or two workspaces when I need to. A menu item/icon in the future would be great but for now a line of code will do.

Lou

Hi Lou,

What version are you running?

Sorry, I should have included that, it's V8.6.

Hi Lou,

A lot has changed in this area, but I think the following will work in 8.6.

Just evaluate this snippet in the editor that you want to disable code completion.

OSWidget focusWidget owner codeAssistant instVarNamed: 'activeProviders' put: Set new.

If for some reason this doesn't work...let me know and we can try something else.

It's fairly easy with some method overrides, but I'm trying to prevent you from having to modify your source.

Re: Is there a way to turn "Code Assist" off in a single workspace?

Hi Seth,

That seems to work (at least it turned off the finding names part of code assist) but now that I've played with it a bit I think it would be better to turn off the bracket matching stuff as that seems to be what is active when I cursor around the work space.

Do you have any magic for that?

Re: Is there a way to turn "Code Assist" off in a single workspace?

Hi Lou,

I would be very surprised to hear its the bracket matcher causing performance problems...but we can test the theory.

I'm more inclined to believe it would be either

1. The smart-highlighter (double-click item and matches are highlighted) since there was an issue in 8.6 where it searched the whole document instead of just the visible view...or

2. The color syntax highlighter, since it may be constantly trying to recover from syntax errors.

There are no instance-specific settings, but we can see what causes the slowdown.

Bracket Matcher

Workspace menubar->Options->Code Assist->Bracket Highlight (uncheck this and try)

Smart Highlighter

Workspace menubar->Options->Code Assist->Smart Highlight (uncheck this and try)

Color Syntax (I see I need to add this to some more menus:( )

Transcript->Tools->VA Assist Pro->Settings->Color Syntax->Use Color Syntax (uncheck this and try)

These apply globally, so don't forget to switch them back if desired.

Just let me know if you can identify any of these as the culprit

Re: Is there a way to turn "Code Assist" off in a single workspace?

Hi Seth,

Bracket Matcher seems to be the problem. There are matching "{" and "(" on almost every line. When Bracket Matcher is turned off, things are a lot better. Is there a way to turn it off in just the one workspace. If not, that's a nice to have. I guess I can turn the option off when I'm looking at these beasts.

Thanks, Lou

Re: Is there a way to turn "Code Assist" off in a single workspace?

Hi Lou,

Unfortunately there is no easy way to do this since there are no instance-based settings.

In the future, we are planning to have workspaces that will have mime-like settings

so all these features will be tied to the type. For example, in this case to get what you want, you

would be switching the workspace to the txt mime type.

Not sure which release yet.

As you mentioned, in the meantime I would just use the quick-settings from Workspace menu->Options->Code Assist->Bracket Highlight
