a few autocomplete issues

Open porres opened this issue 1 year ago • 10 comments

autocomplete does not show the option to create the [pi] object for some reason

it also does not autocomplete with objects like [text define] / [text delete]... when creating [text] you are given options for 'define' and 'delete', but if you type [text de...] you're not given options to complete

Another issue, autocomplete suggests this [floatbox] object, which doesn't exist :)

[pi] not showing makes sense since it's a value, the same as if you type [5] in an object. We could add it by just adding md documentation for it. EDIT: I see the behaviour is actually a bit different!

[floatbox] is now fixed, I made it so that [floatbox] actually creates a floatbox. Before that was [floatatom] but I think floatbox is a better name.

ok, so only missing objects with subobjects as a 2nd name :)

pluck unit and any other 'unit' file should not be suggested

I would only pick one version, not both the abbreviation and the full name. I'd also go for the full name

you also have different descriptions, and the official one is actually

"send a bang message after a time delay"

same would go for [f], [t] and anything else

I wouldn't also suggest 'vd~' as it is just an old name for [delread4~] and this is the current and official object name

Not necessarily an issue, but more a request for the autocomplete. Currently when you start typing and click outside the object box it is created with the letters that were typed (resulting in an error if you didn't complete typing).

It could be nice that when clicking outside it uses the suggested autocomplete as well.

I'll mention that the issue with floatbox also occurs with symbolbox.
