[vwnc] New version of AutoComplete

Andres Fortier was so kind and gave me some enhanced/refined searches  
for the Autocomplete add on (it's able to limit the selector search  
when it detects things like self, super, some literals, class names.  
I've integrated them, and added some more. Beefed up the comments. And  
I think got rid of the nil WindowManager bug that some had reported. I  
haven't published it as the trunk yet; I'd rather have a little  
testing on it first. It's been published as '23 + changes'. If you're  
feeling daring, I hope you'll give it a go and report any issues back.

TIA

(And special thanks to Andres Fortier)

Time and Countertops. They both get used up way too fast.

Travis,
    Tried in a clean 7.6 image and when tab is pressed on the source
code, it throws a dnu for #value.
I'm really looking foward a stable version of this, it'll definitely
make AutoComplete much more user friendly.

HIH, Emiliano.

Yes. I keep thinking that we edged the SymbolValue stuff in right  
before 7.6. When in reality it happened right after. So I forget to  
avoid its use in stuff that still is likely to be run in 7.6.

Anyway, there's a changes_c branch now. Hope it works better. And  
thank you very much for the quick feedback Emiliano.

Hi, changes_c works better, still a thing or two...
- When tabbing on a method sometimes i get a Transcript showing
UndefinedObject. For instance, if i tab rigth after a v.i. let's say |
result |, i get
(UndefinedObject #DoIt - result is undeclared)
- The 'receiver filter' seems to work only for classes, not for
self/super. Tried calling
self as[Tab]
 in a non-collection class, and got all the conversion methods (asList,
asSet, etc...).

Also whanted to let you know that Holger Kleinsorgen has published a new
BlockIndent version (1.4) that is now compatible with AutoComplete.

HIH, Emiliano.

Simple question, but there I go:

How do I get the completion to actually work?

The MagicKeys.KeyBindingsEditor results in a walkback.

I know I had it work already, but I think loading the MagicKeys package
broke it.

Is there any tutorial as to how to get something so incredibly useful to
  work?

use the tab key to auto-complete.

For example type in a browser:

Object you

and hit the tab key.

I can't help you with MagicKeys since I don't use it :(.

Hello Andres,

thats the problem, tab is for me a tab -> \t. I am used to either
control+space or shift+space.

So, to me, there are two possibilities:

1. Change Autocomplete to use [control|shift]+space -> I dont want to do
that.

2. Use MagicKeys, but how?

Ok, here goes a very quick (and barely tested) hack:

1. Restore the overriden message normalCharacterKey: aCharEvent in
ParagraphEditor. This should remove the support for the tab key

2. Override normalKeyboardEvent: charEvent do: aBlock of
ParagraphEditor in AutoComplete package with:

normalKeyboardEvent: charEvent do: aBlock
        "The normal handling of character events."

        | aChar |

        aChar := charEvent keyValue.

        #{AutoComplete.TabComplete} ifDefinedDo:
                        [:bool | (bool == true
                                                and: [(aChar = Character space) and: [charEvent hasShift]])
                                                                ifTrue:
                                                                        [
                                                                        (self completeWordFrom: self interactiveWordCompletionSearch)
                                                                                ifTrue: [^self]]].

        charComposer add: aChar do:
                [:char |
                | ch  |
                char asInteger > Character illegalCode
                        ifTrue: [ch := Character illegalCode asCharacter]
                        ifFalse: [ch := char].
                aBlock value: ch]


HTH,
Andrés
