Description Daniel Franke 2003-04-30 18:31:40 UTC

Version:           3.0.0a4 (using KDE KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc-3.2.2 
OS:          Solaris

when code-completion is open, one can type any text, but it's not possible to navigate through source by cursor keys (and code completion window closes, sure). 

Example:
-- I'm typing: --
	stri
--
now the window pops up
-- nevertheless I type --
	ng
--
but, instead of going on I want to jump around and change anything, using '->' or '<-' ...
this doesn't work. One has to close the popup first by [ENTER] or [ESC].

I believe it would be ok if it would be closed by any key but [UP] nad [DOWN] ?!

I'm not sure but I do believe this has something to do with Kate instead of KDevelop, 
but if not, then I would rate this bug as the most annoying bug in KDevelop...

Yes, if the description above is against the katepart editor... then it is indeed 
katepart's problem.  
 
(It could be any KTextEditor-compliant editorpart - most likely it IS katepart 
though. Reassigning.)

The keys Up, Down, PgUp, PfDown, Home and End are all used for navigating 
in the popup. Return and Enter are used to activate completion. 
 
All other keys including Right and Left - are now passed to the editor, the 
completion box is hidded if appropriate (completion can't be done after cursor 
move etc). 
 
If there is a reason that we should eat Right and Left keys, let me know. 
 
Closing, works in cvs.
