Re: [gedit-list] GtkSourceCompletion

[Jesse van den Kieboom <jesse icecrew nl>]

Wouldn't this be problematic if you have more than one plugin that wants to
provide completion items for the same events (say "."). How would this
work. Both need to detect insertion of "." and popup the completion dialog,
but this goes wrong if they're both active. It might be a good idea to add
a function with which you can register a provider together with a list of
strings which initiates the event? Another problem might be how that you
don't always show a popup for "->" or "." in programming languages due to
the context of a string or a comment. We might be able to use the contexts
in the new highlighting engine if they could be exposed somehow (as they
are now just some internal representation of different parts to highlight).
