Bug 159157 [preferences][content assist] Enhance code assist by allowing more character triggers
Reported: 2006-09-28 13:36:15 | Status: verified fixed

I have developed a minimal plugin that I use to great effect to maximize the use of code assist. The plugin merely sets the property for the auto-activation triggers to a long string (chars A-Z and a-z, as well as '.') in order to make all alpha keys plus the '.' triggers. The feature request, then, is trivial: please increase the limit on auto-activation triggers to 53 (26 + 26 + 1), or greater, to allow people to configure this functionality. I have been using it for over a year and really love it. I'm attaching the plugin if people would like to try it out. Once the plugin is in, type Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Z to have it set the auto-activation property. The plugin is called "HyperAssist" (org.popejoy.hyperassist). Thanks, Stuart
