[quote=“facelessuser”]Tried out your branch; the reload is nice. I see you dynamically added the make dir and make folder entry. Pretty neat.
Depending how I proceed in the future, I might pick up the reloading on_modified. I didn’t seem to notice any lag with it, which is good.[/quote]
Yeah, I added it not really thinking that it would be practical, having the plugin reload every keystroke, but it performed exceptionally. It really opens up some new doors.
It’s interesting how all the plugins I’ve worked on seem to push ST2 past its visible limits. Display Functions and AutoFileName dealt with autocompletion, SMART_Snippets pushes ST views to their limit, while this plugin abuses the quick panel. It’s kind of fun seeing how far you can take things.[/quote]
I know; it is pretty fun to see and do. Quick panel is really getting worked over in this, but it is taking it like a champ. Later tonight I am going to post an update that uses the on_query_context to use tabs to autocomplete folder/file names, and if you enter a slash after a completed folder name, it will take you into the folder. “…/” and “/” should work and on windows “d:” should take you the “d:” drive etc. So it should feel more like it does on the terminal. The autocomplete will be nix style though, so if you are on windows and expect tab to cycle through all instances of folders/files that start the same, you will be disappointed. It is more like Linux/Unix where when you tab if there is only one that starts with what you have typed, then it will complete it.
So yeah, a little bit of your code is going to be dropped into the next iteration. I think there is already some COD312 inspired stuff in it already, but yeah, I am finally getting on board with adding a bit of on_query_context.
