Adding JavaScript code completion (sidekick?--not sure
how this is implemented) would make JEdit the ultimate
web developer's tool.

Logged In: YES user_id=935841 SideKick has a completion mechanism. XML already has a JavaScriptSideKick which has no completion yet. Anyone who wants to work on that should be committing to the XML plugin SVN. If you volunteer, speak to me about getting commit privileges. |

Logged In: YES user_id=187628 I've looked at it. It'll take a lot of work, I think. Right now, the javascript sidekick parser is a few regular expressions. They do an okay job of parsing javascript, but it could be better. They are not sufficient to implement code completion. Really, what's needed is a better parser. I've looked for a decent javacc parser for javascript, but haven't found one. I adjusted the html sidekick to delegate to the css sidekick so in-line <style> tags are parsed into the html tree, it would be awesome to do the same thing with with in-line javascript. |

Logged In: YES user_id=187628 Hmm, I googled again and found a relatively recent jjt file for ecmascript. I'll add this to my growing list of things I don't have time for :) |

Logged In: YES user_id=927854 If it helps, it looks like Vim 7.0 has JavaScript code completion. I don't know if the formats are compatible, but maybe their script could be used? |
