Auto-complete should kick in after 0 chars

[abrudz]

The IDE has a setting for how many characters one needs to write before auto-complete kicks in. Since this setting is not alterable from within RIDE, it should default to 0. It is currently 1.

Example:
In the IDE, set Options>Configure>Auto Complete>Make suggestions after 0 characters.
In the session, type ⎕SE. and wait to see the suggestions.
In RIDE, type ⎕SE.

I've raised Mantis 15284 to request interpreter support for this.

The interpreter uses a AUTOCOMPLETE_PREFIXSIZE setting. e.g. RIDE_INIT=SERVE::4502 AUTOCOMPLETE_PREFIXSIZE=0 apl. Is it sufficient for RIDE to set that and/or our apl scripts to set it? /JD From: jayfoad [mailto:notifications@github.com] Sent: 04 December 2017 11:47 To: Dyalog/ride <ride@noreply.github.com> Cc: Subscribed <subscribed@noreply.github.com> Subject: Re: [Dyalog/ride] Auto-complete should kick in after 0 chars (#26) I've raised Mantis 15284 to request interpreter support for this. — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

@johndaintree That's better than nothing, but it would be much better still if RIDE was in complete control of this, even for interpreters that it did not start. So I think I favour passing the prefix-size value in every GetAutocomplete request.

@johndaintree any news on this? Will it make it into the protocol?
