Autocompletion for functions used as arguments

[degorov]

Now you offer {"name":"sort", "args": [{"name": "[compareFunction]"}]} Maybe you should consider using {"name":"sort", "args": [{"name": "(a, b) ->"}]} ?

Another example: {"name":"forEach", "args": [{"name": "callback"}, {"name": "[thisArg]"}]} {"name":"forEach", "args": [{"name": "(elt, idx, arr) ->"}, {"name": "[thisArg]"}]}

Less typing, much more helpful.

great idea!

Would be even greater if we could have the ability to show some shortened version of the completion in the list and full string inserted to the document. So we could have forEach(callbackfn, [thisArg]) shown in the list and forEach((value, index, object) ->, [thisArg]) inserted. The second string is just too long to display in the list...

I worked on .sublime-completion files and trigger and content fields can be different there, I suppose it can be done in plugin as well.

P. S. There are a lot of threads asking to make completion list in Sublime wider, but AFAIK there is no solution :(

You got me thinking about this. Let's do this: you can, optionally, have an "insertion" property. "name" will be the display name, "insertion" will be the text that's actually inserted.

Example:

{"name":"forEach", "args": [{"name": "callback", "insertion": "(value, index, object) ->"}, {"name": "[thisArg]"}]},

Yes, that would be perfect!

[justinmahar]

Implementing this right now. Check back in 20.

Implemented. See custom types in README for example of how to use.
