* contrib/hbqt/hbqt_hbqplaintextedit.cpp
* contrib/hbqt/hbqt_hbqplaintextedit.h
+ Added: more class methods.
* contrib/hbide/ideedit.prg
% Refined: alias->fieldsList protocol.
+ Implemented: abbreviated code completion usage.
Here is how it works:
1. Create {hbide_resources_path}/hbide_protos_shorthand.txt
2. Include entries ( one for every separate line ) similar to:
zSDB- SET DATE BRITISH
zSAT- SET ALTERNATE TO "myfile"
zCmdD- DEFINE WINDOW oWnd BLAH-BLAH-BLAH
3. Execute hbIDE. Remember that any file prefixed as "hbide_protos_"
will be populated in the code completion lists.
4. In some editing instance, type "z" and you will see
above entries inside completion popup.
5. As usual, select one, say zSAT, and you will see
'SET ALTERNATE TO "myfile"' inserted removing keyword characters.
NOTE: shorthand keyword is case insensitive. So you can use
this feature to the best of visualization.
Keywords demonstrated as above are prefixed with "z",
just because all shorthand(S) will be clubbed together,
but you may use any characters you like.
Keyword must ever be followed by "-" (hyphen) character without
any spaces in between. This tells hbIDE that it is a shorthand word.
Anyhow you can format the value as you like best.
On basis of above theory, we can implement more constructs.
I am looking forward what else you preceive which can be done.
