dhensby commented 6 years ago

fixes #5

This PR improves the sorting of autocomplete suggestions.

eg: Field:

2018-06-29_21-25-48_929bd37c-5e8c-49ba-99cc-1faadb242680

eg: Form:

2018-06-29_21-26-17_e3132ab0-a45d-4024-bd0a-30fc9a0a8248

Improvement is possible to sort alphabetically at some point too so HeaderField is above PasswordField done, pics updated

This change does make the interaction with the search box more laggy, but it's not that much worse than it is currently.

The main assumption I've made here is that people tend to search for classes over methods. Searching "Form" is going to push methods named Form way down the auto complete list. Otherwise it looks like this (maybe it's preferable, I'm happy to be convinced):
