Sandro Martini updated PIVOT-844:
---------------------------------
Attachment: PIVOT-844_first_version_rough.patch
First (rough) version of it (with many TODO inside and some things to see, like
if use a property or a style for the appendMode), but just to give the idea to
get some feedback.
Apply this patch to latest trunk, then run SuggestionPopupTest.java to show it.
Now it's missing a separator style
Note that there is a problem: when I press some key and appendMode is true, no
chars are deleted in the text field, so there are extra chars ... we have to
see if/how to handle this.
Feedback is welcome.

> SuggestionPopup used to replacing whole content of TextInput once user make a
> selection. This creates difficulties in implementing, for example, a list of
> comma separated email addresses in recipients column.
> I suggest to modify the replacing methodology to allow additional parameter
> of Index of the beginning word to input so that the SuggestionPopup will
> replace from the beginning index to the current caret (text cursor) with user
> selection. Additionally, allow not only TextInput but also TextArea to be
> served with, which we can build a typing assistant like function.
> The finding the beginning index is user code responsibility which opens up
> the choice of usages, like email address assistant where ";" is the separator
> and space as separator when general typing assistant. The user code just
> need to use Java String Split to locate the closet word to the caret for
> SuggestionPopup.
