I've generated autocompletions, but it seems (and kinda makes sense) that I
cannot really know what class someone is coding for to show the methods
filtered by that class alone, so in its current state I will autocomplete
both global commands AND all methods. That said, for methods I put "[blabla
class]" after them so you know which one it's for. I still think it's
useful, but I wish it could be better.
Anyone have any bright ideas for somehow knowing what class someone is
coding for? (...because Sublime won't load Softimage's Python environment
to actually know what is what, what with the dynamic dispatching and all.)
By the way, once you tab to choose one, I autocomplete all the arguments as
a "snippet" and you can tab through the named arguments to write your own
variables or delete them.
