Re: Insert vs Overtype

Assuming you're using a US keyboard, you probably hit the "Insert" key and should hit it again.

This is normally toggled with the insert key. The cursor is a vertical
blinking line in insert mode and a horizontal blinking line in overtype
mode.

Have you tried "open from project" on the file menu? Your suggestions
for C-x f and C-x b are good ones. Note that ctrl-backspace currently
does work to delete the last directory (alt-backspace ought to work
also, but doesn't.

Thanks for the suggestions,

Most painful area of WingIDE (and some suggestion...)

2008-12-01T12:09:36Z

Having used WingIDE for some time, I feel that most painful area for
me is the problem of the navigation between files (opening, locating
etc). I hate the current project browser with those deeply nested
trees (I have complicated projects with many directories spawning many
libraries).

I am not sure how to solve this perfectly, but would like to suggest
the following:

1. Do *something* to let me open the project file by partial name without
navigating to it through the directory tree. So I could press some
shortcut, type a few letters and get the autocompleted list of the
matching project files, wherever in the project tree they are. It
could be implemented in a few ways:

(A)

- I press (say) C-x o (or F9 or whatever)

- WingIDE displays input box on the bottom of the window (just like
it does after C-x f in emacs mode, but with different prompt and
behaviour)

- I type a few letters and press Tab

- WingIDE popups autocompleted list (similar to one shown after C-x
f), this list contains all project files which match the given name
(if I typed __in it should show all __init__.py files for example),
the list should use some "reverse path" convention
(emacs-like __init__.py<a/lib>, __init__.py<b/lib>
where just enough is shown to distinguish between files is worth
consideration)

(B) There is "file search" box on the top of the project panel. One
can click it, enter partial name, click enter and get the
matching files below. There are also keyboard shortcuts, so one
can:

- press some shortcut to jump to this file search box
- type a few letters and press Enter,
- press Tab to jump to the files list,
- navigate with keyboard arrows and pick the file with Enter

2. Improve C-x f so it works as in Emacs. In particular:

- if I type C-x f and then ~ I should reset the file search box
to my home directory (some single-letter shortcut which would
reset it to project root would also be nice, maybe # ?)

{ if it was unclear: in emacs, when I type
C-x f ~ pTab
I get list of $HOME/p* files and directories - wherever
I was before pressing ~ and whatever was shown)

- make the autocompletion popup bigger and/or multicolumn, so I usually
see all the matches instead of just first 4 (Emacs uses half of the
window and multicolumn display)

- make Alt-Backspace (eat last directory from the current path) work

3. Improve C-x b so it works as in Emacs. In particular:

- if I press
C-x b Tab
I should see the list of all files which are currently open

- as above, the autocompletion popup should be big enough to show
everything

4. Make recent files available via shortcut and suitable for autocompletion
(not really necessary if 1 is implemented)

5. (advanced topic) Consider grabbing some information about my usage habits,
for example if I repeatably happen to always open blahblah.py while
having trahtrah.py open Wing should make this file easier to find
("Related files" panel or so). Eclipse Mylyn is not exactly that,
but has some similar concepts.

We are working on integrating information from the running debug process
into the completer and might consider extending it to calling functions
to obtain more information (which is what ipy_greedycompleter seems to
do). I'm dubious of calling functions though because editing near an
os.remove() call would become dangerous.

The run tests button run the selected tests if there are any or all the
tests if none are selected. Run all tests from the testing menu will
always run all of the tests.

Yes, this should be done when possible. It's on our list of

This could be due to changing the Python Path or Python Executable in
Project Properties, or a change in your PYTHONPATH or PATH environment
variables, or a change in what Python version Wing finds by default.
You may want to start by making sure Wing is finding the right Python
version (look in the integrated Python Shell) and change it if needed
with Python Executable in Project Properties.

I think I've worked out what happened. When I press 'Run Tests' in the
testing tool it doesn't run all the test files, but seems to pick an
(apparently) arbitrary subset - so all the preexisting failures (that
I've now fixed) then still show as red after the test run. Repeatedly
pressing run tests doesn't change anything.

If I go and select the file that hasn't run and then hit run tests, it
runs fine. Very confusing I'm afraid.

RE: Autocomplete python more liberally

What about implementing ipython's ipy_greedycompleter?

This is less 'relaxed' than a word list driven completer, but is more
powerful than the current (code, not shell) completer.

A primitive word list driven completer is possible using the scripting
API but it's not possible to integrate that well with the regular
auto-completer.

I've appended below a sample script that uses the argument entry
facility at bottom of the editor window to provide simple word-list
driven completion based on the current file contents.

If you put this into the 'scripts' folder in your user settings
directory (which varies in location and is listed 5th in Wing's
About box) and do Reload All Scripts from the Edit menu, then
you can bind a key binding to the command word-list-completion.
It shows a completer once you start typing.

This is just a toy, really, but I thought it may be useful and/or
interesting.

Hi,

all of a sudden some modules of mine won't autocomplete anymore -- even though
autocomplete worked just fine yesterday. With others, the autocomplete works
as before. Any idea what could cause this? I've already tried to reanalyze-

Autocomplete in function calls

2008-11-28T01:04:40Z

What is actually the reason why I don't see any parameters in the
dropdown-list and in autocomplete when I am typing the arguments for
a function call?

def myfunc(param1=1, param2=1, param3=1):
...

myfunc( p<a dropdown with param1 etc> )

Wing knows all the parameters so why not add them to the vocabulary in
that case?

Wing's nose support currently doesn't allow command line options such as
-P to be specified. You should be able to set the environment variable
NOSE_NOPATH to 1 in project properties and get the same affect.

How about a custom plugin script that I can bind to a keyboard command

Actually, owing to the other problems with that new 2.3.2, I
downgraded to 2.3.1. But before doing so, I check that xdpyinfo
reports 96 dpi. I would then think that, indeed, GTK/pango would
adjust but that's not the case.

Re: The convert indentation

2008-11-24T10:25:35Z

Hi,

If it's a tab-indented file that suddenly shows the file with tab size
of 8, it's due to adding indentation that includes also spaces (perhaps
by pasting it in). Wing does that because that is how the Python
interpreter is going to "see" the file.

In Wing Pro, you can use the Indentation tool to see what sort of mix
of tab, tab+space, and space only indents you have.

On a related note: If you get indentation warning dialogs that you
don't want, you can disable that with the Editor / Indentation / Show
Python Indent Warning Dialog preference.

Hope that helps. If it's changing to tab size 8 without mixed indents
in the file or this isn't a tab-only indented file, please send details
to us at support@....

There is an option in the configuration:

Edit -> Preferences -> Editor

Check "Show Whitespace." That will show spaces and tabs on lines. I keep it on all the time...it's great. I also check "Show Indent Guides"
under Editor -> Indentation.

You should be able to use the Tab key to move among the fields of the
templates, rather than the arrow keys.
I think I agree, however, that indent/dedent should be ctrl-arrows
rather than arrows. The rationale for
the current behavior was that people won't tend to find the
functionality if it's ctrl-arrows, but it's not hard
in most cases to get the template to be placed right in the first place.

There's not way to do this now in Python code, but it's an option we've
been looking at
adding. The completer for non-Python code already does this (although
it separates out
words by context -- code vs comment vs string vs template tags). So it
may not be a
stretch to drive completion w/in comments and strings at least using the
same code.
I'll try to look at this; it's something I've been wanting also but
haven't had time to
work on yet.

Thanks,

Autocomplete python more liberally

2008-11-24T02:18:07Z

Is it possible to configure wing to autocomplete words that aren't
necessarily defined variables, functions or methods.
I'm from Emacs/Jed land where M-. autocompletes the word you're cursor
is on if the word has been written anywhere before in the buffer.

I often find that I'm typing words that have been written before in
things like comments or inside python strings. In fact I'd be happy to
separate the functionality from the usual autocomplete which pops up
as a list.

What you're seeing is that the arrow keys adjust the indent level when
entering fields in a template and the ctrl-arrow keys move by word both
in and out of a template. We'll look into using other keys for
adjusting the indent level.

Thanks for the feedback,

John

Arrow key indent issue

2008-11-21T12:59:38Z

Hi,

I like using Wing's default formatted function and class definitions as
I think they make the code look more professional. However, when I go to
use my arrow keys to move my cursor into my parameter list, the function
or class will start indenting or dedenting. The same thing happens when
I try to use my arrow keys to get to the middle of the docstring that is
automatically created. I found I could hold CTRL+arrow key to stop the
indenting stuff on the definition line, but it doesn't work for the
docstring. Instead I either jump to the beginning or end.

I use my keyboard as much as possible, so grabbing the mouse and
positioning is slightly annoying, especially if my cursor is on my
secondary monitor. Not a big deal, but I was wondering if there is a way
to turn off this feature? I am using Wing Pro 3.1.5-1, Python 2.5.2.

Thanks,

Mike

We'll try to fix this in a future release.

Thanks for the bug report!

Could you send the file to support@... along with instructions
of how to reproduce this?

My current settings are:
status = Spaces Only
counts = 28 (0t/28s/0t+s)
Tab size = 4
indent size = 4

I gather that I have no 'tabs' so why is it that when I close file, exit wing,
open wing, open the file I get the error about the convert???

Maybe I am missing something? Maybe I don't understand what you are asking me
to do? But I do know I really really dislike what it is doing.

Are your indents tab characters that appear as four spaces? I ask
because Wing will display tabs as eight spaces if there are any line
indented with spaces. My recommendation is to use space indents if you
want four space indents.

Thanks for your quick answer. I'll follow your advice.

I think starting with -dpi 72 is the best option right now. GTK (or pango)
should be detecting the dpi and adjusting font sizes, I believe, but it is
apparently failing to do so. We'll have to track down whether this is
another bug in X11 2.3.2rc1 (e.g. failure to report correct resolution)
or a bug in our version of GTK/pango.

Thanks for reporting this.
