Hi,
some time ago i begun writing a text autocompleter for blender text editor. It tries to autocomplete things in a “smart” way, making suggestions after entering a dot in expression or when referencing previously declared variables, classes, functions.
It also makes suggestions as you type and you can select an entry and hit enter to get its text inserted.
Its still rather glitchy and does not work in all cases yet, unfortunately… It draws a bgl Menu with the suggestions at the mouse cursor position.
But i thought i “release” it at this place (its from 2012 basically) now, so i can see whether you like it and whether it pays off to continue working at it, maybe this time with the jedi py autocompletion library as “backend” (my own is not so good)
It looks like this:
