oh, interesting. looking at its web site(http://www.amyeditor.com/), its feature for collaborative editing sounds even more interesting. we can have a worldwide online web2py coding sprint using it ? ;-) features like autocompletion may be regarded as just one of nice little features editors can have. but, by extending the feature, i have a hideous ambition to make this already bad, bad framework even badder, and make this DRY framework even DRYer ;-) say, to complete a line db=SQLDB('sqlite://storage.sqlite'), i may type db=SQLD for db=SQLDB(), then type sq to complete the whole line. i may register a whole bunch of coding peaces on autocompletion, and, for example, type def login to suggest me a template for the login function. i may be able to avoid a mistake like items = [A(row.title, _href=URL(r=request, f=show, args=row.id)) for row in pages] by autocompletion's telling me quotation comes after f= like f='show'. this might lead to another feature like 'post-completion' to correct a mistake. these features can be more and more 'intelligent' as the 'autocompletion/postcompletion engine' behind the editor gets smarter. generic autocompletion features on IDE's are nice, of course, but domain-specific autocompletion (postcompletion) features, specifically developed for web2py, can reach a high domain of intelligent programming environment others may not. i don't know how it sounds to others. just thinking loud, so called. -- Teru On 9月5日, 午前4:53, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > editarea does not do autocomplete but amy editor does.
