| Hinterland | |
| ========== | |
| Enable code autocompletion menu for every keypress in a code cell, instead of | |
| only calling it with tab. | |
| The nbextension adds an item to the help menu to turn auto-hinting on and off, | |
| and offers some options for configuration: | |
| Options | |
| ------- | |
| * `hinterland.hint_delay`: | |
| delay in milliseconds between keypress & hint request. This is used to help | |
| ensure that the character from the keypress is added to the CodeMirror editor | |
| *before* the hint request checks the character preceding the cursor against | |
| the regexes below. | |
| * `hinterland.enable_at_start`: | |
| Whether to enable hinterland's continuous hinting when notebook is first | |
| opened, or if false, only when selected from the help-menu item. | |
| * `hinterland.hint_inside_comments`: | |
| Whether to request hints while typing code comments. Defaults to false. | |
| * `hinterland.exclude_regexp`: | |
| A regular expression tested against the character before the cursor, which, | |
| if a match occurs, prevents autocompletion from being triggered. This is | |
| useful, for example, to prevent triggering autocomplete on a colon, which is | |
| included by the default Completer.reinvoke pattern. If blank, no test is | |
| performed. Note that the regex will be created without any flags, making it | |
| case sensitive. | |
| * `hinterland.include_regexp`: | |
| A regular expression tested against the character before the cursor, which | |
| must match in order for autocompletion to be triggered. If left blank, the | |
| value of the notebook's `Completer.reinvoke_re` parameter is used, which can | |
| be modified by kernels, but defaults to `/[%0-9a-z._/\\:~-]/i`. Note that | |
| although the `Completer.reinvoke_re` default is case insensitive by virtue of | |
| its `/i` flag, any regex specified by the user will be created without any | |
| flags, making it case sensitive. | |
| * `hinterland.tooltip_regexp`: | |
| A regular expression tested against the character before the cursor, which if | |
| it matches, causes a tooltip to be triggered, instead of regular | |
| autocompletion. For python, this is useful for example for function calls, so | |
| the default regex matches opening parentheses. Note that the regex will be | |
| created without any flags, making it case sensitive. | |
