Wow, I love the tab autocompletion plugin! What would be amazing if we

tab-completable, when relevant. Things like filenames, table/array

in libraries. It really highlights how badly we need Enter/Return to
instantiate the object.

Personally I prefer the default tcsh/bash-style where tab doesn't cycle
thru the options when you hit tab repeatly. I could see a bash/tcsh
style display of the options, like in a popup when you hit tab repeatedly.

hey thanks.
I'm not really supposed to dedicate that ammount of time developping for pd but as I'm unemployed right now =) I'm afraid the bash style auto-completion is a bit above my head, but the idea is nice.

Basically, the first is the trigger: hitting tab twice where the tab does not add any more characters. So using your plugin as an example, type M-O-Tab-Tab would then list 'mod' and 'moses' as options but not change the 'mo' in the box. Those options could then be in a popup menu to both see and select with the keyboard or mouse.

Adding the argument completion would probably be a lot more work, but I haven't really thought about it. But just having object name completion is huge!

.hc

One thing that needs to happen to make the auto-complete plugin more
deployable is to have all its procs in its own namespace. Otherwise
there can easily be name conflicts with other things named 'init',
'trigger', etc.

done

(FYI: sending to pd-announce also sends to pd-list)

okay

cheers,
