digitalmars.D - Geany editor: Dlang code autocomplete
- Denis Feklushkin (17/17) May 08 2018 Hi!
- Seb (11/22) May 08 2018 Sorry, but I highly doubt that you can get a "normal
- Basile B. (3/24) May 08 2018 What do i read here... that's wrong. DCD does have semantic. What
- Denis Feklushkin (4/15) May 09 2018 Currently it can be supported only as dirty hack like as by link
- Alexibu (8/10) May 08 2018 I use Geany for D.
- Denis Feklushkin (2/10) May 09 2018 dcd does this job better than internal Geany autocompletion
- Chris (5/17) May 09 2018 I use Geany for D too, but the generic auto completion works well
- Basile B. (3/20) May 08 2018 Hello have a look here: https://github.com/denizzzka/geany_dlang.

Hi! Does anyone else use Geany as Dlang code editor? I'm looking at the ongoing fundraising for another editor. Unlike it, we have almost everything ready: https://github.com/denizzzka/geany_dlang (More precisely, I think that Geany is not so advanced and currently it is enough to add only tips and autocompletion :-)) But there is one significant "but": in the Geany editor there is no support for plugins that implement autocompletion. More details about this can be found in this issue: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/1854 If someone knows С and understands how to add good support for this in Geany itself (this is GTK application) plese write to me or to Github issue from above. Estimation of work ~3 hours, it seems. And we finally get a normal autocompletion for D language. Thanks!

D's "state of the art" DCD struggles a lot with autocompletion as it only has an AST and no semantic analysis. Fixing this by e.g. using DMD's frontend is way beyond 3 hours of work. Though of course, DCD works well for many cases already. BTW I quickly skimmed your linked issue and it seems that Geany already supports autocompletion for plugins, just not re-using the naive default completion.

It isn't something I'm that interested in, but I do seem to use it. I suspect if I configured paths for it to scan for files to find symbols in it would work better.

There used to be issues with DCD crashing randomly when I used it with Textadept, but I suppose that is fixed now. Please keep us updated on the issue.Hi!
