Code Hint support #9

It would be very helpful to have code hints in shorthand editor.

@redmunds Is this a problem with this extension or with Brackets itself?

redmunds commented 10 years ago

This problem is with the extension.

First, we're using an in-memory file, which doesn't exist on disk, so it doesn't have a file extension, so Brackets doesn't know it's a CSS file. This could probably be easily fixed.

Second, after that's fixed, it is not a well-formed css rule, just a declaration list, so the token parser doesn't know where to show hints for "properties" or "values". Not yet sure how to fix that.

To fix the second issue, maybe you could just write in the document

body {
margin-top: ?;
...
}

And then just hide the first and last line as it is done with the other inline editors.
