Auto-complete tries to complete absolutely every word #32

Open krishunt opened 3 years ago

krishunt commented 3 years ago

When auto-complete is turned on, Emmet tries to complete every single word I type, and it's very annoying because the popups never go away.

Emmet Auto Complete

The only workaround I've found is to disable auto-complete entirely, and then manually auto-complete with a keyboard shortcut. But this is obviously an undesirable solution. Can auto-complete be set to only suggest auto-completing recognized keywords?

Yes, will add this option. On the other side, in JSX context you would expect the same behaviour as above since it’s a perfectly valid React component name

I also have this complaint. I had to disable emmet to write a SASS file.

Same here. Wish this could be fixed.

Any updates on this issue? It's been almost two years!

davidbdyer commented 1 year ago

Doesn't look like it. The only edit I see in the code is to add support for another language. Looks like they don't care about Nova. To be honest Panic shouldn't be leaving some of these make or break plugs up to third parties. Their JS support sadly is sub par to VS Codes.

Exactly, I send a mail to Panic yesterday asking them about this issue. Having Nova without proper Emmet support is kind of pointless IMO.

Unfortunately, Nova has a very limited API, compared to VSCode or Sublime Text. When I developed this extension, it was really hard to implement completions with preview as in other editors. And I sent my suggestions to Panic, don’t know if they were implemented already (my Nova license has expired, can’t try updated API).

The official solution for JS/JSX for Emmet is to use < prefix for Emmet completions. Here’s how it works in Sublime Text:

In Nova, < symbol can’t trigger suggestions, as well as any following characters won’t trigger it. So there’s not much I can do with it to provide better UX for JSX

Thank you for your reply and for creating this extension in the first place.

You can request a free license (and renew it every year) as an extension developer. See this blog post for all the details: https://panic.com/blog/free-copy-of-nova-for-extension-developers/

I am not sure about the API but I think I've seen a couple of enhancements in the release notes here: https://nova.app/releases/

I would really love to see some improvements here because Nova has the potential to be an awesome editor but I can't use it without Emmet. I will post here once I hopefully get a reply from Panic.
