Disable word completion suggestion/pop-up feature

[alice.106667]

Can you add a feature to disable word completion suggestion/pop-up?

[cvp]

@alice.106667 see here

Create a little script with

import editor
editor._get_editor_tab().editorView().completionProvider=None

And put it in tools to act on edited script tab

[alice.106667]

Thanks @cvp . But where can I find ‘tools’?

[cvp]

@alice.106667 wrench icon above right

[madivad]

Damn @cvp is there anything you don’t know. Lol

[cvp]

@madivad More than a lot but, as retired, I have plenty of time to play with this marvelous app

[mieq]

Is it possible to apply this completionProvider to other types of files so that snippet can work for not just .py files,thanks.

[cvp]

@mieq tools are also active (see wrench button) for non .py files but I don't know if it would have the effect you want.

[mieq]

@cvp just want the auto completion show up even in non .py files.because the snippets will show up in the code completion suggestion.

[cvp]

@mieq I understand your request but sincerely, no idea.

[mieq]

@cvp haha,never mind.

[cvp]

@mieq you could always foresee your js snippets in the snippets settings and edit your js file renamed as a .py, and rename it into .js at the end.

[cvp]

@mieq I just spent more than one hour to try to find a way in objectiveC by analyzing some methods of the tab editor view but without any success.

[mieq]

@cvp Never Mind,I will try the rename method.Thanks a lot.

[cvp]

@mieq Just to prove that I have made progress, although quite useless since without success.
Try this

from objc_util import *

@on_main_thread
def main():
    win = UIApplication.sharedApplication().keyWindow()
    root_vc = win.rootViewController()
    tabs_vc = root_vc.detailViewController()
    tab = tabs_vc.selectedTabViewController()
    for snippet in tab.editorView().completionProvider().snippets():
        print(snippet)
        
if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

[cvp]

@mieq could I have some of your js snippets? And about how much snippets do you want to use?

[mieq]

@cvp In fact, I just discovered Pythonista's snippets and thought it would be great if it worked on all files. (But even apart from that, Pythonista is a very good text editor.) So I didn't actually create any snippets.

[cvp]

@mieq Haha 😂
Anyway, could you try this script as wrench/tool and tap it when you are editing an html or JavaScript file.
It will provide you a keyboard with additional keys, instead of snippets, to generate some lines.
Try each additional keys, given as example.

@cvp This is awesome,😍 Thank you so much!

[cvp]

@mieq of course, my script is not very professional and you have to know you can add your own keys, even on several rows.
Keys have their face with the text of 'key' (or an icon) and generates the text of 'data' if present, else of 'key'.

[cvp]

Inverting data and key for <script> with double width

        {'data':'<script>\n\n</script>','key':'<script>...</script>','width':2},

Gives

And generates

<script>
