Auto Complete for API functions not working quite

Glider (IDE)
#1

So I fire up the autocomplete by using CTRL-SPACE (edited from the completely wrong CTRL-TAB) for this:

local tempText = display.newT

it shows “newText”. I hit “Tab” to complete, but there’s no additional drop-downs like in the old version of Glider with all the different version of “newText” and it’s usages.

Matter of fact, there’s none at ALL. I have to refer to the Corona API page for usage.

I’ve tried refreshing all API’s under options with no love.

Help?! It’s never worked now that I think about it in Version 2.0

Hello Mario,

Have you updated Glider recently? Please check via help-> check for updates. 

It should look like this:

Yeah it’s up to date, I

Product Version: Lua Glider 2.0 201310111528       

None of those pop up automatically for me at all as I type. I have to manually hit CTRL-SPACE (edited) and still get none of those displayed in your screenshot. 

I can try to uninstall and reinstall perhaps? I have all my settings backed up. Just let me know where on my PC the stuff lives so I can get a clean install and I can try it tomorrow perhaps!

[EDIT] Yeah, perhaps now that I look at it, I see the build directory is still labeled as “C:\Users\mroberti\AppData\Roaming.luagliderv19\dev” when I have the new version 2 of glider…I had imported these settings from a previous EXPORT of my old glider settings from v19… :unsure: No telling what else I managed to screw up when I imported those settings!!!

OK I guess that might be the source of a lot of my woes. I’m off to uninstall and then reinstall!!! I’ll keep you posted.

Yup that solved it.

Lesson learned: Don’t import stuff from older versions of LuaGlider (what was specifically screwing stuff up I think was that it was trying to read stuff from the old directories “C:\Users\mroberti\AppData\Roaming.luaglider19\dev” instead of the proper “C:\Users\mroberti\AppData\Roaming.luaglider28\dev” folder and that was making it all wonky.

I uninstalled both versions, nuked BOTH of those above directories and started out from scratch (I had previously exported my settings so I can reimport them, but this time I’ll only be reimporting my themes and code templates and that’s IT! :D )

Seems every time I reach out to you guys I end up solving the problem myself, sorry to fake you out all the time!!!  :wink:

Best,

Mario

Any idea what the key combination to trigger auto-complete on a Mac is? CTRL-TAB does something totally different. It brings me to another source window open inside Glider. Thanks for your help

Oh duh I was completely lying, it’s CTRL-SPACE not CTRL-TAB. God, I’d be dangerous if I knew what I was talking about half the time!!!

@Mario

Thanks for telling us the solution Mario. it really helps us and other Glider users down the road. 

@Ksan,

The shorcut key is ctrl-space. You can rebind it to whatever you like via preferences-> keymap.
