* What is it? DCD is a client and server program that work together to provide autocomplete suggestions and function call tips to almost any text editor that supports scripting or plugins. * Who is it for? People who would like autocomplete, but don't want to give up their favorite editor for an IDE. * Where is it? GitHub! https://github.com/Hackerpilot/DCD * What does it look like? There's a short demo video on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo2POmn2_9U * What editors does it work with? Textadept, Kate/KDevelop, Vim, and Emacs. The Textadept integration script is the reference implementation. * This sounds a lot like GoCode It does, doesn't it? * Does it work? Yes and no. DCD is fairly new, and not all of the features you'd expect from a D autocompletion engine are present. I do feel that it's enough of an improvement over not having autocomplete to make this alpha announcement. * Should I file bug reports in this announcement thread? No. Add them here: https://github.com/Hackerpilot/DCD/issues?state=open

Do you ever use Sublime Text 2/3? Any plans to support integration with it? Seriously awesome work. I've wanted to make this since I saw gocode, but I couldn't figure out how to get at the ast in dmd.

Nice. Would you mind keeping the default key bindings that gosublime uses?

DCD pretty much requires that the editor support scripting.I was looking in to adding this to TextMate. But the easiest solution would most likely be using bundles. In TextMate that's basically a script that gets executed when a hotkey is pressed. I mean, I can't really start and stop the sever each time the users press that key. TextMate supports plugins as well, kind of. But it's quite cumbersome to write. I hasn't a real API, one uses method swizzling and observers to implement a plugin. It's a lot easier now when TextMate 2 is open source. It also seems a bit unnecessary to have the server running as soon as the user opens TextMate.

I just tried it with the Kate and it's working like a charm! All contributors keep up the good work :-) I really like the client/server approach because it enables everyone to use his or hers favourite editor. Is there a blog or changelog which allows to follow the further progress? Cheers André On Sunday, 1 September 2013 at 10:58:28 UTC, Brian Schott wrote:* What is it?

I have an idea how to do this, using custom keys in the project specific settings, but I'm wondering how this is solved in other editors.Things such as the standard library location can be placed in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dcd/dcd.conf or $HOME/.config/dcd/dcd.conf on Linux or BSD, or dcd.conf (in the same directory as the server executable) on Windows. The server reads this on startup and caches all .d and .di files that it finds in the paths in that file.* How to deal with multiple sessions/projects? Should I have one server running per session/project? Say I have two different projects, both with the symbol "foo.bar". I don't want those to cause conflicts.Symbols are filtered by the import statements that are contained in the text that you send to dcd-client, so there shouldn't be a conflict. If you have multiple foo backages each with a bar module, then it'll probably break.
