completion-plugin's Introduction

completion-plugin

This Gui-Plugin enables auto-completion for pure-data objects. Just hit the TAB key while typing into an object to trigger completion mode.

You can see a video demo of the plugin on vimeo.

Install:

just put the whole completion-plugin folder anywhere and add it to your PD PATH
alternatively, you can just clone it inside ~/pd-externals: $ git clone git://github.com/gusano/completion-plugin.git ~/pd-externals/completion-plugin

Notes:

By default, only Pd internals are available, but you can add your own objects|abstractions names:

add them into any *.txt file inside user_objects subfolder
these files should contain one object|abstraction name per line (no commas at the end of the line)

Some other options can be tweaked in the completion.cfg config file, it should be pretty straightforward.

Some libraries will automatically get their externals added if they were loaded with -lib (like Gem, gridflow, ...). Their objects list can be found in the subfolder lib_objects.

Wrong Tcl version

Osx users reported the following error:

UNHANDLED ERROR: version conflict for package "Tcl": have 8.4, need 8.5
    while executing
"package require Tcl 8.5"
    ("uplevel" body line 27)
    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $tclcode"
FAILED TO LOAD /Users/joe/Library/Pd/completion-plugin.tcl

It looks like a manual upgrade of Tcl is needed.
