Navigation between the calltips for overloaded functions

(1/4) > >>

darmar:
Currently the calltips for overloaded functions are displayed on separate calltip pages. To navigate between the calltip pages the keyboard shortcuts "Ctrl+N" and "Ctrl+P"  are used.

I think the use of these shortcuts are not intuitive. In VisualStudio and MonoDevelop the simple "ArrowUp" and ArrowDown" are used instead. I find it is much more intuitive and corresponds to how the user navigates in the code-completion list.

I tried to implement the required changes into C::B. Now I have the working version. If developers have interest, I can prepare a patch.

oBFusCATed:
I have serious interest, I've raised this question long ago and it has not been addressed.
So you patch will be very welcome and I'll test it right away.

darmar:
Here is the patch.
This patch adds changes to the scintilla. I guess, this is not very desirable, but I haven't found another way.
Note: this patch doesn't delete Menu items "Next Call Tip" and "Previous Call Tip". I could prepare a patch for it if required.

I am ready to make adjustments in the patch if required.

oBFusCATed:
Thank you. Can you post the changes to Scintilla to the maintainers of Scintilla?
They can integrated them in the official release or they can tell you how to improve them or do it in a better way if needed.

darmar:
I have updated the patch. Now the change in Scintilla was avoided.
