[transfered] List of undocumented API features

Since I will likely forget about what features are currently not documented in the official API Docs and do not have the time to add them all I'm creating an issue here to keep track of all the missing things.

• [x] EventListener.on_query_completions(self, view, prefix, locations) which allows two different return types and sublime.INHIBIT_WORD_COMPLETIONS, used as a second return value when a tuple
• [ ] The *Command.*_ methods with the event parameter and unwrapped args (e.g. "run_", "isenable")?
• [ ] *Command.is_checked for use as a menu item command
• [ ] sublime_plugin.run_timed_function(f, name, event_name, timeout) usually not necessary to call since it's already used on direct plugin calls but maybe interesting for multi-threaded stuff?
• [ ] sublime_plugin.reload_plugin(fname) should not be used regularly but still interesting?

Quick edit:

• [x] Completions (.sublime-completions file as well as generated by event listeners) support displaying a description which can be added by separating it with \t in the "trigger" key. Example:

  {"trigger":"abs\tabs(...)", "contents": "abs(${1:x})"}

While skipping through the changelog:

• [ ] API: Added sublime.log_result_regex()
• [ ] API: Added window.find_open_file(file_name)
• [x] API: on_query_completions results may have a tab embedded in their descriptions, to delimit help text
• [ ] API: window.run_command() will run text commands, dispatching them via input focus

• [x] view.match_selector(point, selector) is not documented, can probably be written as view.score_selector(point, selector) != 0 and sublime.score_selector(view.scope_name(point), selector) != 0 though.

• [ ] view.extract_completions(prefix)

• [ ] window.get_output_panel(...).window() indicates if the panel is visible or not

Not sure where to put this though.
