In any IDE one of the biggest time savers for me (and I’m sure many will agree) is autocomplete. Most IDE’s have it and of course Xojo has it too but it lacks one thing that make autocomplete so efficient. It needs to pop up when the user presses the period (.) after a keyword instead of having to hit TAB key. I can’t imagine where this would be a hindrance.
Xojo [LOCAL] documentation does not have auto-complete go figure !
Periods are used all the time in code (dot notation), tabs are rarely used. I guess that’s why.
There are lots of places where a dot is not used at all
That would be very annoying.
No, no, a thousand times no. Using a period would be very unnatural and annoy thousands of current users. Sorry. Bad choice.
It can be an optional preference to autoshow completions like in Xcode.
No no no a thousand times no - unless you want to drive the guy that writes the IDE nuts
well more nuts than he is already
