It appears that pdf-annot-add-markup-annotation
does not conform to the API standard in its use of compelting-read
:
COLLECTION can be a list of strings, an alist, an obarray or a hash table. COLLECTION can also be a function to do the completion itself.
Here's the offending call:
(completing-read "Markup type (default highlight): "
'(squiggly highlight underline strike-out)
nil t)
Note that a list of symbols does not fall into any category mentioned in the documentation. Somehow, completing-read-default
supports a list of symbols even though it's not documented.
I can add a work-around in ivy, but I also suggest a fix in pdf-tools.
Thanks! I'll open an issue there and paste my question and parts of your answer.
Just want to let you know that it has been also fixed on pdf-tools side.
I want to annotate a pdf-file using pdf-tools. One way to do that is to mark something in the file and call
pdf-annot-add-markup-annotation
Then completing read in the minibuffer is activated and one can choose between ‘squiggly’, ‘underline’, ‘strike-out’ or ‘highlight’.When ivy-mode is disabled it does work as described above. With ivy-mode on there are no matches. In the minibuffer it says
(1/0) Markup type (default highlight):
The same happens when I use hydra-pdftools. I don't know on which side (pdf-tools or ivy) the relevant things changed, but I'm pretty sure that it used to work.
