Wow, I love the tab autocompletion plugin! What would be amazing if we<br>
had a bash-style completion files were the arguments were also<br>
tab-completable, when relevant. Things like filenames, table/array<br>
names, send/receive names, etc. This completion file could be included<br>
in libraries. It really highlights how badly we need Enter/Return to<br>
instantiate the object.<br>
<br>
Personally I prefer the default tcsh/bash-style where tab doesn't cycle<br>
thru the options when you hit tab repeatly. I could see a bash/tcsh<br>
style display of the options, like in a popup when you hit tab<br>
repeatedly.<br>

<br>
hey thanks.<br>
I'm not really supposed to dedicate that ammount of time developping<br>
for pd but as I'm unemployed right now =)<br>
I'm afraid the bash style auto-completion is a bit above my head, but<br>
the idea is nice.<br>

Basically, the first is the trigger: hitting tab twice where the tab<br>
does not add any more characters. So using your plugin as an example,<br>
type M-O-Tab-Tab would then list 'mod' and 'moses' as options but not<br>
change the 'mo' in the box. Those options could then be in a popup menu<br>
to both see and select with the keyboard or mouse.<br>

yeah that's what I wanted first: a ComboBox below the object box, but then I had troubles with object box coordinates (did the user click or is the object still moving with the cursor, etc...) and I started adding some "if" and all kind of stuff inside mouse motion procedures and that became nasty.<br>
this (and the fact that I wanted it now =) made me rewrite the plugin with the "cycling-through-completions-with-tab" behavior (which I still find very cool for speedy-patching)<br>

Adding the argument completion would probably be a lot more work, but I<br>
haven't really thought about it. But just having object name completion<br>
is huge!<br>

One thing that needs to happen to make the auto-complete plugin more<br>
deployable is to have all its procs in its own namespace. Otherwise<br>
there can easily be name conflicts with other things named 'init',<br>
'trigger', etc.<br>
