SUMMARY I use the Kate editor as an IDE and I noticed that after the launch of Plasma 6, in the Kate application I no longer receive suggestions for my snippets when I edit code, in any type of file. I looked for this behavior on the net but did not find anything. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a source code file with Kate (ex, test.sh) 2. Enable Snippets plugin from Kate Settings 3. Create and save a proper snipped repository (let say for Bash files) and add and save a snipped code in that repository. 4. Type your snipped title in source code file. OBSERVED RESULT Snippet suggestion is missing. EXPECTED RESULT A tool tip with snippet suggestion that insert the snippet in file at Tab key pressing. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS EndeavourOS (Archlinux) KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0 Qt Version: 6.8.0

Git commit a8463f8761d35701803367c38b416dbb724e015e by Christoph Cullmann, on behalf of Waqar Ahmed. Committed on 09/11/2024 at 13:11. Pushed by cullmann into branch 'master'. Fix snippets not working unless completion is hard invoked They should not be completely disabled unless someone hard presses ctrl-space as it makes the experience very annoying. Overtime one can get used to the annoyance but I am not sure its a good idea. The new logic honors ktexteditor minimal word length and starts the completion if the last char is a letter. This should avoid the issue with snippet completion starting on pressing `.`. However, this might still be too simplistic but we can refine on it instead of hard disabling the feature Related: bug 462383 M +14 -8 addons/snippets/snippetcompletionmodel.cpp https://invent.kde.org/utilities/kate/-/commit/a8463f8761d35701803367c38b416dbb724e015e
