Re: [Vala] Newbie need help

[wolfgang mauer kabelmail de]

Well,
I've tried a lot and what's closest to what I need is (for me) a vmbox with Ubuntu 14.04.5. LTE with valama

> NP, ask as much as you want. We need new Vala warriors ;-)
Now i know why looking for "warriors" and not for developers ;-)

I wanted to try porting a bigger C# project to vala (performance/etc.) but i think this is not a good idea.
As long as I have to deal with buildsystem/ctags/plugins/autocomplete/whatever and not with my actual work....
It just wastes my time.

So thank's a lot for help, but back to monodevelop .......
Wolfgang

PS. Maybe the vala-team should think about it....

Hi,

You are welcome.

Don't think so, you have to type some characters after the dot, but you
get ALL textually matching functions. You can tweak it a little bit at
"Edit - Preferences - Editor - Completions" (e.g. I set "Characters to
type for autocompletion" to 2) but I'm afraid that's it.

The "real dot thing" IMHO works for vala structs, but not for
classes/namespaces. Maybe YOU want to improve Geany to give it a better
autocompletion ;-) ?

> Do I get this right, that there is no IDE just for vala like monodevelop for C# ?

I don't know any better than Geany, at least the last time I checked
this (approx 2016).
Anyway, I will stay with Geany because it's cute, small and fast and
good enough for (for me).
