[Feature Request] change ordering of auto suggest... make it smarter?

[jevans-gp]

It would be really helpful if the auto-suggest/auto-complete was a bit smarter, so when i type arguments. in a function, it looks at the arguments available and suggests them before the cfml functions.

Nice idea. I think I can do this. There are some structural changes I want to make to the way I supply completions, and it will make this easier to do. So it won't be immediate, but I will get to it.

@jcberquist I have a similar suggestion that doesn't appear to be addressed, but if there's a setting I'm missing, I apologize in advance :)

When typing an attribute name for a tag, it looks like the autosuggest doesn't offer up the attribute first. For example, if typing "n" after <cfquery, the string "numeric", which isn't an option for cfquery, is the highlighted suggestion, but I would expect "name" to be highlighted instead.

Unfortunately, I suspect that this is not a behavior that I can change. The auto suggest completions can come from various plugins, and I only control the ordering of what the CFML plugin itself returns. So if you use a package such as All Autocomplete, and it is providing its own set of completions, I can't control where its completions will be shown on the list.

@jcberquist This is the only plugin I use; does that make a difference?

@mrlife It will limit the number of suggestions you get, but some suggestions are from ST itself, and those will be there even with no other plugins.
