Paste Method

[C0D312]

One of the things I missed about using an IDE is that I can easily see all the available functions to an Object. Then I discovered how powerful Goto Anything is... So I built my very first plugin which opens goto anything, filled with the class of whatever object you have selected. (Only works with Java at the moment)

example:

Code: Select all

MyClass obj;
obj|

press ctrl+r (super+r on OSX), goto anything opens with:

Code: Select all

MyClass@

This way, all my class methods are displayed...
So here's the question. Is there anyway to make a plugin that when I press enter, it copies the function name, escapes the overlap panel, and pastes function name in the window?

Thanks for any help.

Probably, what do you mean overlap panel? Do you have a clip of code where you invoke said overlap panel? I am not exactly sure what you mean. If you mean quick panel, then yes, you can give it a callback, and it will return the index of the item selected, since you populate it, you should also know the index.

I would really need more info, or see the code to be more help.

By overlap panel, I meant the Goto anything panel.

I was a bit reluctant to show my code because its my first plugin and its a pretty shitty attempt at python. BTW, I really suck at regex, so any help there is really appreciated. Thanks for your help.

Here's the plugin: https://github.com/BoundInCode/Function-Copier

I've added some comments on your initial commit, I hope they're helpful!

Thanks. I made those corrections.

Don't feel bad. If I withheld my code every time I thought it was crappy, I would never let it out of my hands.

One suggestion, run SublimeLinter on your code.

Now, your question: The problem is, I don't think the "goto" panel has callbacks or any real way to access what it selects. It is designed with the purpose of "going to" ; I don't think it was designed to be used out of context.

I would personally ask jps if he could provide a method to retrieve goto anything results via the api without calling a goto panel, or ask if this already exists hidden somewhere. I just don't have enough experience with the api to tell you if it already exists, but I suspect it doesn't.

[C0D312]

So a decided that it might be more straightforward if I use the auto_complete api instead of the Goto anything.

So the plugin should:
1. find the object type (done)
2. Find all methods of that class (check for: entity.name.function)
3. Populate the auto_complete with all the methods. (?????)
4. Open auto_complete (view.run_command('auto_complete', {'disable_auto_insert': True}))

Before I embark, I have a question. How do I populate the auto_complete list? I've been scanning the codeintel plugin for clues but it's just a big puzzle...

[ask]

...
How do I populate the auto_complete list? ...

I believe, you can do it like this:
sublime_plugin.EventListener -> on_query_completions -> return [(x, x) for x in your_list]

[facelessuser]

Yeah, I think ask is on the right path. I haven't tried to do this specifically yet with the api, so my knowledge is limited on this topic, but I think this is the way you need to go from looking at CodeIntel.
