Re: [gedit-list] Completion survey

[Jesse van den Kieboom <jesse icecrew nl>]

Hi Perriman,

I think that I can speak here for all gedit developers, that we are
really excited still with the completion library you're developing.
Although there has been little progress on our part, the completion
framework is still high on my list of features I want to see integrated
with gedit.

For gedit I'd like to see completion for specific languages. Although
ctags is able to provide access to available symbols, integration is
still messy imho (I worked on integrating ctags with gedit at some
point) and it would be cool to be able to do completion not only on
symbols (e.g. python/ruby dynamic completion). So a ctags like _library_
which could provide generic symbol lookup and dynamic completion
(intellisense) would be really cool!

Unfortunately, I don't have any time to do any work on gedit at the
moment, and I think gedit is getting a bit short on developers. Please
bair with us :)
