Description battletoad 2011-09-25 04:01:35 UTC

If i have code someClass::blabla()
and below i press autocomplete
on following code in code someClass::<ctrl+space>abla();
it will set not someClass::blabla()abla(); rubbish
but correct string finally, just like it working at KDevelop.

Let me clarify:
You have code 
someClass::blabla()
you invoke completion at "|"
someClass::|blabla()
you choose 'method' from list and would like to see
someClass::method()
instead of current behavior where you see
someClass::method()blabla()

right?

Something like IntelliJ's "Complete with tab" feature (see "Finishing with Tab" on http://blog.jetbrains.com/objc/2012/05/appcode-code-completion-101/) would be most excellent. That way one could select on the fly between overwriting the rest of any existing symbol and inserting while leaving the existing text in place.
