Re: Eclipse Content Assist

Hello,

There are no such plans for now. Its very difficult to achieve same quality for the mainstream languages as IDE gives (C, Java). EclipseColorer is mainly targeted for poorly supported languages.

Hello,

I have Eclipse Indigo Service Release 1, Build id: 20110916-0149 and
Eclipse Colorer Plug-In 0.9.9 on Windows 7 64bit.
Without Colorer that means in the normal editor (GNU C) I can see two
further menu items in the edit menu below Quick Fix: "Content Assist
Ctrl+Space" and "Parameter Hints Ctrl+Shift+Space". The outline list is
much longer and more detailed too.
With Colorer I cannot use Content Assist and the outline is very
small.

Do you plan to implement Content Assist and Parameter Hints in the
Eclipse Colorer editor and to show more items and detail in the
outline? That would be very useful.

I would need Colorer to highlight some further library keywords that
are not part of ANSI C and I cannot do this right now in Eclipse.

Thanks.

The Word Completion command (Alt+/) is very useful, even if it is far from advanced content assist functionality.
