Disable word completion suggestion/pop-up feature

[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.

import editor
from   objc_util import *
import ui


def key_pressed(sender):
		import ui
		from objc_util import ObjCClass
		tv = sender.objc_instance.firstResponder()	# associated TextView
		tv.insertText_(sender.data)	
		return
		
class MyView(ui.View):
	def __init__(self, pad, *args, **kwargs):
		#super().__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)	
		self.width = ui.get_screen_size()[0]			# width of keyboard = screen
		self.background_color = 'lightgray'#(0,1,0,0.2)
		self.h_button = 32	
		self.pad = pad
		
		# build buttons
		for pad_elem in self.pad:
			if pad_elem['key'] in ('nul', 'new row'):		#  free space or new row
				continue
			button = ui.Button()									# Button for user functionnality
			button.name = pad_elem['key']
			button.background_color = 'white'			# or any other color
			button.tint_color = 'black'
			button.corner_radius = 5		
			button.font = ('<system>',self.h_button - 8)
			button.title = pad_elem['key']
			if 'icon' in pad_elem:
				button.image = ui.Image.named(pad_elem['icon']).with_rendering_mode(ui.RENDERING_MODE_ORIGINAL)
			if 'data' in pad_elem:
				button.data = pad_elem['data']
			else:
				button.data = button.title

			if '\n' in button.title:
				ObjCInstance(button).button().titleLabel().setLineBreakMode(0) # NSLineBreakByWordWrapping)
			button.action = key_pressed
			retain_global(button) # see https://forum.omz-software.com/topic/4653/button-action-not-called-when-view-is-added-to-native-view
			self.add_subview(button)	
		self.layout()		

	def layout(self):
		import ui
		#print('layout')
		# supports changing orientation
		#print(ui.get_screen_size())
		dx = 8
		dy = 2
		x0 = 15
		y0 = 10
		dx_middle = 25 
		y = y0
		x = x0
		w_button = (ui.get_screen_size()[0] - 2*x0 - 17*dx - dx_middle)/18
		for pad_elem in self.pad:
			nw = pad_elem.get('width', 1)
			wb = w_button*nw + dx*(nw-1)
			if (x + wb + dx) > self.width:
				y = y + self.h_button + dy
				x = x0
			if pad_elem['key'] == 'nul':					# let free space	
				x = x + wb + dx	
				continue
			elif pad_elem['key'] == 'new row':		# new row
				y = y + self.h_button + dy
				x = x0
				continue
			button = self[pad_elem['key']]
			xb = x + dx_middle if (x+wb) > self.width/2 else x
			button.frame = (xb,y,wb,self.h_button)
			if button.title != '':
				font_size = self.h_button - 8
				while True:
					d = ui.measure_string(button.title,font=(button.font[0],font_size))[0]+4
					if d <= wb:
						break
					font_size = font_size - 1			
			button.font = (button.font[0],font_size)
			x = x + wb + dx

@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>

</script>

[mieq]

@cvp understand,thanks.
