Dear Squeak users,
OCompletion is an extension to ECompletion. Like ECompletion, it
completes
the names of methods as you write them in order to save you some
typing.
The O in OCompletion stands for Omniscient and Omnipresent.
OCompletion is much more accurate than ECompletion. We tested it on the
development history of several projects
(see
http://www.inf.unisi.ch/phd/robbes/papers/ASE2008-completion.pdf).
Across several hundred thousands tests of the completion, OCompletion's
algorithm scores a 70 (out of 100), while the eCompletion's algorithm
scores a 12. To achieve this level of accuracy, it learns from your
usage
of squeak and proposes to you methods you are more likely to use.
OCompletion shows a small, non-instrusive completion menu with potential
completions as you type method names. You don't need to call it
explicitely
with tab. Just press tab to insert a match, or the down arrow to
select the next
match.
To install it on Squeak or Pharo, simply execute the following line in
your image:
Installer squeaksource project: 'OCompletion'; install: 'OCLoader'
Cheers,
Romain
