- jonathankoren 4y agocscope? Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in 23 years.
- Cloudef 4y agoI don't even bother with code-completion. Not having it makes me actually dig the source code of other components, and is usually helpful deciding if I even want to use the said 3rd party component. Programming is more about thinking than looking up fast what functions to call anyhow. If you wanted code-completion, you'd better use LSP anyways, and you'll get all that fancy compiler diagnostics and whatever in your editor.
- wruza 4y agoI agree. I’m only using “word” completion from open buffers and include lists to save keystrokes. Makes you read, think and choose instead of blindly walking through dots in hope that some combination works. But I also had a good experience with ctags (in 10k+ projects), for quicker navigation.
