Does anyone still use textadept.editing.autocomplete_all_words?

[orbitalquark]

I'm considering removing this field unless there are objections. I believe it was a user request back in 2014, but I don't know if it's still useful now.

For reference:

textadept.editing.autocomplete_all_words (bool)

Autocomplete the current word using words from all open buffers. If true, performance may be slow when many buffers are open. The default value is false.

I sometimes activate it for medium sized (3/4 files <200 lines of Python each) and it does a nice enough job to make me wonder whether I need LSP ;-) And, additionally, if you leave it as false, there is no impact on performance. Is it really worth killing this feature? My .2 cents, /PA

I keep it on when working on C. I’d leave the header open on a separate tab and use autocomplete from there. I find it very easy to use depending on the header file I have open, i.e. I can close one and open another header when I’m done doing something and ready to do something else.

the same might be possible with ctags but I haven’t bothered to learn/use it. For context I use quite a bit of single header libraries like stb

I use it. I often have some sort of function, structure, object, etc in one file that I want to use in another file. There is a good chance in that case that I am working in both buffers so the word auto-complete scan all buffers is nice.

That being said, I already monkey-patch the word autocomplete function due to not liking words in comments showing up in my auto-complete. Therefore if you removed this feature I could keep it in my monkey-patch.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. This field will remain. I agree that it is useful.
