JavaScript completions

[agibsonsw]

This will be my last update, you might be pleased to hear , because I’ve got this GitHub thing working (link provided in previous post).

I have used abbreviations in the tab triggers by removing the bracketed text shown:
Canvas 2(d)
CanvasGrad(ient)
Func(tion)
Hist(ory)
Navig(ator)

The purpose of this is to reduce the number of mis-hits when typing, without losing the ability to track down these specific objects. It also reduces the file size very slightly.

I’ve kept the full words Document, Window, Location, etc., because these terms are so familiar, and abbreviating them doesn’t assist searching. However, I’ve removed the text ‘Date’ from the triggers. This is because it’s much easier to type day, month, time, etc., or get, set, to, UTC. I’ve kept them for the static functions parse() and UTC() though.

I’m not intending to play with this any more (unless someone points out omissions or mistakes), as I want to play with Python! Regards, Andy.

Many THX Andy!
any clues how to add syntax colors to the functions ?

This would require modifying the ‘JavaScript.tmLanguage’ file and your chosen theme-file. It’s not straight-forward unfortunately . Alternatively, you might find an existing theme that includes specific JS syntax colours. If you find such a theme, you could modify its ‘tmTheme’ file to change some of the colour-numbers. I don’t know which themes include JS colours

Would you mind continuing the discussion here:

@agibsonsw - Apologies for adding to such an old thread. But…

I’m just starting looking at completions and other aspects of modifying Sublime Text 4.

The documentation is… sparse to be polite. Or it assumes a massive amount of background information in code bases I don’t know about.

Can I ask if you found better information on Sublime Text completions and so on somewhere?

You’ve clearly worked hard to get an understanding of how it all works.

But I look at the docs and its barely comprehensible to me. If there were indications of other reading to find out how to make it work, that would be great. But there isn’t.

Thanks for any thoughts.
