Questions about autosuggest

As I wrote earlier:

For HTML and CSS it works wonderful. It is the best editor I have seen so far.
</quote>

I have redefined the key bindings to fit my preferences (tried to have roughly the same settings as Kate in
KDE). Attached my scheme.

Like many other programmers I use Autosuggest and Code completion to speed up coding. To me it is an
essential and the most important feature of any editor / IDE.

There are 3 steps important. With 2 of them Komodo does not work yet as I hoped:

1) If you are typing the name of a variable, then 'Word suggest' (I call it Autosuggest) should be able to
quickly provide information which variables are available, starting with a certain string. Example:
product_id
product_description
product_price

Approaches:

- In IDE's am used to a situation where I can type prod and then press ctrl-space, which pops a dialog with
those three options. Then using up and down arrow followed by enter I can make a choice.

- In the Linux console one tab is enough to complete the whole word if there is 1 options. If more, I can press
tab 2 times to see a list and then continue typing enough characters followed by a tab to complete the word.
- In Komodo I can press ctrl-space to cycle through the options. In contrary to the previous 2 approaches
this does not provide an instant insight in / overview which variables are available.

Question:
Is there any way (for Komodo users) to change this behavior to make it look more like the other approaches?
Or, what should I do to have a fast-working approach which provides instant overview like I described?

During this phase Komodo cycles trough all variables which are defined somewhere in the whole file instead
of variables defined so far. It means that the user will see irrelevant information, which implies the
risk of making a mistake (choosing a variable which is not instantiated yet).

Question:

Is there any way (for Komodo users) to change this behavior so Komodo will only show variables defined
earlier in the module or function definition?

2) After typing the name of a class instance followed by a dot, a dialog pops with the names of available
methods. This works as expected.
Suggestion: This dialog could also be used for the Autosuggest for variables.

3) Once a method is chosen, it is possible that it should be corrected. Example

        user = User()
# user had the following 2 methods:
        user.check_password()
        user.check_black_list()

Suppose I accidently chose check_password and now want to change it to check_black_list.
Instinctively I go with the cursor to check_| and then press ctrl-space to use autosuggest to chose
check_black_list. However, when I do that nothing happens ;)

Question:
Is there any way  (for Komodo users) to change this behavior?

Of course, as a new user, I do not fully understand Komodo yet. So any tip would be welcome.

Kind regards,
Nico

Autosuggest / code completion

Hi, I'm evaluating Komodo Edit, version 8.0.1, build 12353, platform linux-x86_64.

For HTML and CSS it works wonderful. It is the best editor I have seen so far.

If I try to code in Python (a Django project) I have a problem. Perhaps I am doing something wrong, perhaps
these are functions of Komodo IDE or perhaps I found bugs ;)

In my Django project I have defined one model (Task) which is a subclass of django.db.models
In the code it is first instantiated like
task = Task()
As soon as I type task. Komodo starts to scan packages.
Then I see an error:
"evaluating 'task' at tasks.py#502. Could not resolve 'objects' getattr on <class Task> in (blob
'models', []) (error determining completions)

There is no problem with the built-in models or any other classes in Django.
Komodo can also find functions in my project. Only the models which are defined cannot be found.

Of course I have checked edit / preferences / Languages / Python / Additional Python import directories.
There I have the project directory, relevant dist-packages and site-packages directories.

Looking around to what is causing this, it looks like Komodo requires a Django model to have an 'objects'
property with an instantion of a models.Manager.
Is this true? If so, is there any way to get around that (apart from modifying existing code)?

Any input would be highly appreciated.

Nico

changing printer gutter size

Hi,

Is there any way to control the printer gutter size? The left-hand
gutter is almost 2" when I print in OSX.

A+

Komodo 8.0.0-beta1 is now available to preview

Hello,

The first Komodo IDE/Edit 8.0.0 beta (pre-release) is now available for 
testing. You'll need to download it directly from here (there is no 
auto-update from 8.0.0 alpha 3):

    http://www.activestate.com/komodo-ide/downloads
    http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit/downloads

We've now added the Komodo Edit bits as well, though note that the IDE 
beta build can be trialed by anyone (you don't need to hold a Komodo IDE 
license).

We will continue making Komodo 8 pre-release builds every 3-4 weeks, 
which will lead to an official Komodo 8.0.0 final release some time in 2013.

The major changes in Komodo 8.0.0 beta 1 are:

  * *User Interface*: We've revamped the Komodo user interface - we've
    got a shiny new logo, updated icon set and modernized styling. You
    can even choose an icon set you wish to use through Komodo's
    Appearance preferences - such as the Classic (Komodo 7) set.

    We'd love to hear your feedback on these changes (for good and for
    bad), so let us know how you feel and what you'd like to see improved.

  * *Mini-map*: Sitting right next to your editor scrollbar, the
    mini-map gives a high-level (10,000 foot) view of your code. It
    gives just enough details to allow you to quickly scroll and
    re-position the editor on a targeted section of code.

    **

  * *Open Files*: There is a new widget in the left pane that groups and
    lists all of the files you have opened. It groups the files by
    language and then sorts them - this is really useful if you have a
    lot of opened files. You can also hide the editor tabs completely,
    and just use the Open Files pane, giving you more vertical editing
    space.

    **

  *

    *Retina on Mac OS X*: Retina support has been enabled in this
    release - providing crystal clear high definition fonts for both the
    main editor and the interface. We've also enabled native full screen
    support with the OS, so it's more awesome to use Komodo on a Mac.

  * *Fast Open Shortcuts*: When using the fast open dialog, you can now
    make a shortcut to frequently used files and directories. For
    example, given the directory "/some/long/path/to/my/code", you can
    make a shortcut called "code", then when using the fast open dialog,
    simply typing "code/" will now show you the files of this directory
    without the need to type out the full path.

Known Issues:

  * Slow editor keypress events in some files (Mac OS X) - bug 97330
    <http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=97330>
  * Flickering of caret during typing in some cases (Mac OS X) - bug
    97214 <http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=97214>
