Some thoughts and questions; JavaScript IntelliSense

Post by IBon »

I have now been using CudaText for some months for editing HTML, CSS and JS files.

It is a quite good text editor compared with the other ones I have tried over the years. Congratulations with the good work!

However, there are (in my opinion) some major disadvantages/issues that I would like to have clarified:

1) Is it really impossible to "install" CudaText on your computer? Will you have to download and unzip at every update and run from the unpacked folder? All settings/macros will then be lost?

2) Will auto completion for JS come in the near future? And will it be an actual auto completion (without hitting ctrl. + space for it to work)?

Thank you.

Thanks,

1) no installer is planned, it will be zip file. Pls see
https://wiki.freepascal.org/CudaText#Ho ... e_settings

2) without hitting ctrl+ space for it to work--
see Plugins / Options Editor, filter by text "autocomp". There is option autocomplete_autoshow_chars.

2b) auto completion for JS--
plugin: JS Tern.
https://github.com/pohmelie/cuda_tern
Gives intelligence commands for JavaScript: 1) auto-complete (Ctrl+Space), 2) go-to-definition (item in context menu), 3) show function call-tip, 4) show doc-string, 5) show usages. Based on Tern engine, requires Node.js.

Thanks for the reply.

I will take a closer look at that.

PS: I think there is a bug in this forum; I do not get a notification when there's a reply to my post.
