utility

description

The focus of this script is to provide context-sensitive word completion - taking advantage of the popular ctags utility and Vim's built-in perl features. Suppose you have an instance of an object (o), and you've typed: o.set_ While you are still in insert mode, press CTRL-J, and this script will then look up the first member of that object that starts with "set_" and complete it for you, like this: o.set_range(integer max, integer min) If this isn't the completion that you want, then press CTRL-J again for the next member that starts with "set_": o.set_name(string name) and again for the next one: o.set_value If you've gone too far then you can go back with CTRL-K. After each completion you are left in insert mode - so you can just continue typing when you've found the one you want. The object can also be replaced with a struct, class, 'this', or 'super'. Completions can also be made after the open parentheses to complete the list of parameters: o.set_range(<c-j> Or after the function: o.get_name().compar<c-j> Pressing CTRL-S will skip through the function parameters, visually selecting each in turn - useful for filling in the parameters after completing a function.

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
context_complete1.0.tar	1.0	2005-03-04	6.0	David Larson	Major upgrade. - context completion continues after a function (var.getObject().<c-j>) - search pattern and keywords are configurable - added a new mapping to highlight parameter items in turn - added a tag cache file for mega-fast searching. - *much* more.
context_complete.tar	0.5	2005-02-10	6.0	David Larson	- completes 'this.<c-q>' - completes 'super.<c-q>' - object type guessing is smarter - limits tag choises to members of the current object. - more bug fixes and documentation.
context_complete.tar	0.4	2005-01-31	6.0	David Larson	- implemented a basic understanding of class inheritance. - tag searching is now *much* faster - uses binary searching whenever possible. - function parameter completions are given when asked after "(". e.g.: util.do_suff(<c-q> - completion suggestions are now sorted.
context_complete.vim	0.3	2005-01-24	6.0	David Larson	- static members are completed: i.e. ClassName::<c-q> - C structs are now understood and treated like classes - local variable definition detection is much better... it uses more of vim's built-in features. (yay!) - more bug fixes. Finding the definition of a local variable is much more solid.
