Thank you all for the positive feedback!!!

@chris: I've fixed the bug. It would be great if you could test it. Just download the latest version from squeaksource and give it a try. Here is the link: http://www.squeaksource.com/eCompletion/ECompletion-bar.78.mcz. Concerning #mouseOverForKeyboardFocus - I'll look into it... and give you feedback.

Stunning. Simply gorgeous.

It is high time Squeak got a such a nice and serious productivity update to its core dev tools. I knew someone would do it eventually. This level of auto-completion is finally on par with eclipse.

It looks like you've really given great consideration to the subtle usability. I *really* like the keyboard support; thank you for that. Good keyboard support really helps me go faster.

Even the web site is gorgeous, simple and.. heh, uncomplex! :)

I had tried the previous version of eCompletion a while ago (still have it installed) but eventually turned it off because it doesn't seem to work well with #mouseOverForKeyboardFocus enabled. I run with this on all the time just so I can easily close windows with command+w. I'm always opening a (hierarchy or tracing-messages) browser and then conveniently closing via keyboard. Ha! Ironically, I suppose this has been my "poor-mans" ecompletion, I'll probably switch to the real thing now (I will miss command+w)..

Thanks for the great contribution! Chris

PS - I hit a couple of notifications.. Here's one of them.

On SqueakMap you'll find a new release of eCompletion. There are a bunch of new features to be tried and tested:

• Integration with RoelTyper (created by Roel Wuyts) for better

instance variable type determination.

• New detail pane for current menu entry
• Open a (class, implementers) browser on a menu entry
• menu paging (PageUp, PageDown, Home, End)
• Character completion for quotes, brackets etc.
• Uses same colors as Shout
• Help

3.0b1 is beta, so I didn't publish it. In "Squeakmap Package Loader" you need to open the eCompletion entry and install the version 3.0b1 by right clicking and choosing "install" on it.

eCompletion got a new home: http://uncomplex.net/ecompletion. You'll find more documentation there.

Please don't hesitate to send me bug reports, suggestions and feedback!

Ruben

Would you mind to try it out and give me feedback how it works?

Wow that was fast. I certainly will try it out this weekend.

Thank you!

When I first released eCompletion more than a year ago, MVC support was requested, too. I then asked how many people work on MVC without Morphic, it seemed not worth the effort. Has the situation changed?

Personally I would prefer a Tweak port of eCompletion, as this will be the future Ui framework for squeak. But I don't know when the transition from Morphic to Tweak will happen and how important Tweak is at the present time.

And there is even wxSqueak to consider - so many options...

Could this work in MVC too? I'm using my customized MVC only image and I miss eCompletion very much :-)

To provide optimal usability, eCompletion is implemented in Morphic. I have to look at ToolBuilder in more detail, maybe a stripped down implementation for other UI frameworks would be possible.

Can't eCompletion use the Toolbuilder system?

Hi Stef,

I tried to reproduce the problem. TAB does not work, it just inserts a TAB in the code pane. I'll fix that, in the mean time enter ctrl-space.

You'll need Shout 4, I don't know about 3.15.

I didn't test 3.9a 7021, only 7006. I test 3.9a again this weekend...

Hi ruben

here is what I did loaded in latest 39alpha 7021 image shout 3.15 http://www.squeaksource.com/eCompletion/ECompletion-bar.78.mcz.

    then opened a classbrowser
    selected a method
            in the code pane
            a press tab and I got the system blocked.
