Variables in auto-completion

Hi,

I remember that in old Pharo versions, the auto-completion added the
variables at the top of the completion list. Now they are at the
bottom under the classes.

The original version worked better for me. The current version really
annoys me since most of the time I would prefer to have a variables
completed. Is there a setting somewhere to get the old behavior back?
If not, does someone knowing the implementation of the auto-completion
knows where I could put a metalink to get the old behavior back for
me?

I preferred previous version as well.

And me... :-)

It's even more annoying because I can type the entire variable name
and then continue typing only to get the variable replaced with some
random class name.

Haha, yes, I hate that too ... that is code completion that makes you less productive ;-)

Yes - I noticed that too and raised a similar issue: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/issues/2855

Re: Variables in auto-completion

The globals are in the list first... I think this can be fixed by moving the adding from #initializeSelectors to #addVariables
(class NECUntypedModel).

The whole NEC code is far too complex… we have some experiments for an AST based version, we should dig that out again.

(I added the note to the issue)
