Re: [gedit-list] Completion Status

[perriman <chuchiperriman gmail com>]

Hi,

	I'm thinking about the completion context. I write some ideas and you
can tell me if it is what you want:

CompletionContext
-----------------
	- get_capability () 
		* Event how produces the completion
		("standard::interactive","standard::automatic" 
		or another custom call)
	- set_proposals (provider, proposals_list)
	- add_proposals (provider, proposals_list)
	- get_proposals (provider): proposals_list

Provider
---------
	- populate_completion (context)
		* The provider must add the proposals with
		context->set_proposals
	- filter_proposals (context)
		* The default implementation filter by label
		* The provider can overwrite it and filter the current
		proposals doing something like context.get_proposals,
		some filters and context.set_proposals
	- completion_finished (context)
		* The provider can free cached data

The completion will do:

1.- User press <Control>Space to show the completion 
2.- Completion creates the context
3.- Completion call populate_completion to all the providers
4.- If the user writes some char the call filter_proposals on all
providers
5.- If the user selects a proposal call to provider.activate_proposal
6.- When the completion ends, call to completion_finished on all the
providers.

What do you think about?
