Thanks again for this one!

BTW it feels great to see so many things you ask for appear in the next beta/release…

I really love this!

Just a note of appreciation for all the developers working on the app! You can’t ever give or received enough praise. So here’s some more.

Three cheers for Servoy!

There is also a new feature in the code editor.

The code editor does have code completion now which is activated by pressing CTRL-SPACE.

for example:

a[CTRL-SPACE]

you will get a option applications
select applications (press enter)

then you will have:

applications.

press CTRL-ENTER

Now you have all the options application context has.

(you can also do this with "forms"until a element property of a form)

please try it out and make suggestions if you see bugs or want improvements.

Looking great! Thanks for this one but…

It only completes ‘as if it were the first word…’ Don’t know how to describe this better and couldn’t attach the screen print…

try utils.s[ctrl-space]. it will suggest security :D

The other thing is that on OS X this works with really [ctrl] and not [option].

But again THANK YOU!!!

yes that is right. That is a current limitation that i will try to fix on the road.. But for 1.2 we wil have to with this.
(you can only complete directy after the “.” and not type one letter first)
That letter you can type after you pressed CTRL-ENTER (it will jump to that item then)

7

For now CTRL-SPACE wil be completion (because command key needs that the action is a menu item..)
