Hey guys!, i’m trying to find out how can i push the auto complete box to show my own wanted items (setted programmatically) instead of showing the normal completion list (indexed by sublime suggestions)
def on_query_completions(self, view, prefix, locations):
list_of_items = [("item1", "content of item1"), ("item2", "content of item2")]
return list_of_items
i’m trying to do an IDE that smart autocompletes the content (variables, functions, classes…)
any help is much appreciated!
Thanks for the reply mate, but i’m not seeing it’s helpful as i think it’s not what i’m looking for, since i’m looking for a way to force autocompletion to show determined list items depending on the context (variables input, functions, etc…)
from your on_query_completions method, you need to return a Tuple, the first item being your list of autocompletion entries to show, and the second being the sublime.INHIBIT_WORD_COMPLETIONS flag, which will tell ST not to show words from the file in the completions list.
Actually, i tried that and it does not work.
it would be like this?:
return (completions, sublime.INHIBIT_WORD_COMPLETIONS)
The link was more in response to:

in order to provide a basic example of working with programmatic completions.
The rest of what you’re looking to do:

would pretty much be a ton of validation within on_query_completions to determine which completions should be active.
You can utilize regions, substrings, scopes, etc. to implement contextual validation.
Anything in particular you’re looking to figure out?
I’m trying to avoid sublime to autocomplete words from buffer and complete only fields, variables, functions and entities used in the actual editing file
Note: of course, i distinguish the scopes (file types) only getting worked for python, java, c# and basic parsed languages
I guess you also want to use the flag sublime.INHIBIT_EXPLICIT_COMPLETIONS then.
Documentation here: https://github.com/guillermooo/sublime-undocs/pull/190/files
To use both flags together, you can use the or keyword:
return (list_of_items, sublime.INHIBIT_WORD_COMPLETIONS or sublime.INHIBIT_EXPLICIT_COMPLETIONS)Thanks!, It works perfectly mate, but i still get words in the buffer listed in the autocompletion list, how can i make sublime not to show them?, any tips?
There is nothing you can do to stop other plugins from also using an on_query_completions listener and adding their own items to the autocompletions list.
I understand that, however, sublime.INHIBIT_WORD_COMPLETIONS flag does not work as expected cause it is not deleting words from buffer, Sublime Text should have that option, i think it has that.
