Re: [Komodo-discuss] Autocomplete for Tcl?
Hi Tom,
As of version 4.3, Komodo has supported prefix-sensitive
abbreviations. They're based on three things: the language
of the file you're editing, the word to the right of the
cursor, and the contents of the snippet in any Toolbox
folder with the path Abbreviations/<language> /<word>
Komodo ships with five snippets for Tcl, including "proc",
with this value:
proc [[%tabstop:NAME]] {[[%tabstop:ARGS]]} {
[[%tabstop]]
}
You would type "proc", then Ctrl-T (default keybindings), and
it would expand to the above.
You can easily add another snippet called "pro" to the
Samples/Abbreviations/Tcl folder, with contents like
this:
#############################################################
# Procedure: [[%tabstop:procName]]
#
# Arguments:
# [[%tabstop:args]]
#
# Returns:
# [[%tabstop:Nothing]]
#
# See Also:
# [[%tabstop:]]
#
proc [[%tabstop:procName]] {[[%tabstop:args]]} {
[[%tabstop:]]
}
You would then type "pro" followed by Ctrl-T (we're working
on getting Tab to work here, but it has some conflicting operations
bound to it), and then tab through to set the various settings.
The *.tip files are more useful for navigating through APIs.
