Improved completion information for SObjects/fields and picklist-type fields

Automatically display the label name and API name and data types:

Automatically display completions for picklist values:

thanks!

[Scott Wells]

This is definitely an interesting idea. I hadn't really thought about the first proposal of showing the display name in the completion info, but I had definitely considered adding completion for known picklist values. I'll definitely take a look at this in the future.

Moving to 1.7.9.2 for consideration but not necessarily implementation yet.

[Scott Wells]

Partial delivery in 1.7.9.2 which includes code completion for picklist field values.

[Scott Wells]

Note that I've slightly changed completions for picklist values in 1.7.9.3 such that they now require the completion trigger (typically Ctrl+Space) to be activated twice. This is because they were muddying the standard completions in the normal case when they're not used.

My computer is Mac and the keyboard shotcut Ctrl+Space has been occupied, how can I update the shotcut? I cannot find any option in setting for me to update the keyboard shotcut, could you please show me the sccreen capture to do the update?

[Scott Wells]

Here you go:

You can just map that back to Ctrl+Space. Let me know if that doesn't help.

[SpringZhang]

My concern is when I click shortcut as you mentioned, the results displayed are all picklist values in the system, what I want is the values of the specific field I am filling in.

[Scott Wells]

Understood. I plan to add smart code completion in IC 2.0 which will filter the completions based on the expected data type.

[Scott Wells]

The rest of this will happen as part of 2.0's smart completion enhancement.
