Description Andrew Fuller 2016-09-09 02:56:50 UTC
KDevelop 5 *almost* provides a perfect homerow-based workflow with many configurable shortcut keys, Kate's VI mode, Alt+# for fixing problems, ctrl-<tab> to switch documents, etc.  The one place I haven't found yet is navigating the code-completion dialog.  ctrl-<space> will bring it up, enter will select, even holding alt will expand the selected entry, but if the function that I want is 2nd or third I must move to the arrow keys in order to select the correct entry.

I would value having a key/keycombo that can navigate next/prev in that list from within the regular typing area.  ctrl-j/ctrl-k would probably be my choice if it were configurable (blends well with the ctrl-<space> to open, and the VI navigation).

Reproducible: Always

yep, sounds like a good idea but must be implemented in ktexteditor
Comment 2 Christoph Cullmann 2019-05-19 15:03:28 UTC
Dear user, this wish list item is now closed, as it wasn't touched in the last year and no contributor stepped up to implement it.

The Kate/KTextEditor team is small and we can just try to keep up with fixing bugs.

Therefore wishes that show no activity for a years or more will be closed from now on to keep at least a bit overview about 'current' wishs of the users.
If you want your feature to be implemented, please step up to provide some patch for it.

If you think it is really needed, you can reopen your request, but keep in mind,
if no new good arguments are made and no people get attracted to help out to implement it,
it will expire in a year again.

We have a nice website https://kate-editor.org that provides all the information needed to contribute, please make use of it.

Patches can be handed in via https://phabricator.kde.org/differential/

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
