Fix for issue #8142: "Ctrl + Space" should move to the next entry when the code hint menu is open #12251

bmax · 2016-02-28T05:53:03Z

Hello,

Here is my suggested fix for #8142. There are a couple of lines of code that I changed and on each line I will comment and explain. I am new to Open Source and am sure this is not the best way! Any feedback is welcomed.

bmax · 2016-02-28T05:53:34Z

src/editor/CodeHintList.js

     */
-    CodeHintList.prototype.isHandlingKeyCode = function (keyCode) {
+    CodeHintList.prototype.isHandlingEvent = function (event) {


Changed this to isHandlingEvent so that we could check the actual event object to make sure ctrlKey is called.

This is potentially a breaking change. One way would be deprecating the isHandlingKeyCode method, throwing a deprecation warning, constructing a new event with the keycode and passing it to the isHandlingEvent-method.

Another (simpler) way would be keeping the isHandlingKeyCode and checking the type, such as

CodeHintList.prototype.isHandlingKeyCode = function (keyCodeOrEvent) { var keyCode = typeof keyCodeOrEvent === "object" ? keyCodeOrEvent.keyCode || keyCodeOrEvent; }

+1, type checking the argument seems to be better. else the public API will break.
Also, keep the existing function name and functionality intact.

+    CodeHintList.prototype.isHandlingEvent = function (event) {
+        var keyCode = event.keyCode;
        return (keyCode === KeyEvent.DOM_VK_UP || keyCode === KeyEvent.DOM_VK_DOWN ||


IMHO this check is getting pretty behemothy and could be refactored somehow.

petetnt · 2016-02-28T12:04:01Z

Made some initial comments. 👍

remove commented code.

sprintr · 2016-02-29T09:35:01Z

A couple of issues I am facing with this PR.

$(".foo").

Making an explicit request here makes the code hints flash in and flash out. You don't get a chance to select any of the hints.
It should show the first hint when explicitly requested and should move top-to-bottom rather than bottom-to-top.

bmax · 2016-02-29T14:49:40Z

@sprintr Thank you! 1. I did not think about the case of implicit calls and not sure why it flashes in and out only sometimes but other times it stays open fine. 2. easy fix, will be in next commit.

bmax · 2016-02-29T14:50:26Z

Found a small problem with my fix, If you have hint list keyboard shortcut set to ctrl+space then when you open the list, it automatically jumps to the end of the list. One way I can think of fixing this is making codeHintOpened a boolean and when it is >= 1 then allow the ctrl+space command to work. Any better ideas or suggestions?

                keyCode === KeyEvent.DOM_VK_RETURN ||
+                keyCode === KeyEvent.DOM_VK_CONTROL ||
+                (ctrlKey && keyCode === KeyEvent.DOM_VK_SPACE) ||


Nit: linting error here (should be indented to column 20, not 17)

Pinging @bmax
Hope you got time to look into the issues raised by @petetnt

petetnt · 2016-04-04T07:12:15Z

We made some progress with @bmax last weekend but there's still some (small) issues withstanding regarding two failing tests. 🚒

petetnt · 2016-06-24T11:39:55Z

I fixed the errors in the tests, see the attached diff

@petetnt @abose This pull request should be ready to commit. I added two new tests to support the fix. I apologize about the terrible commit history, not sure if I should clean it up.

petetnt · 2016-06-29T06:40:09Z

Great job @bmax, LGTM.

For the commit history, I think the one who merges this PR should just do a squash & merge in the GitHub UI.

abose · 2016-07-02T06:17:57Z

👍 @bmax . can you squash some of the commits?

@abose Done! Let me know if that looks better.

petetnt · 2016-07-02T19:18:56Z

Again LGTM. It's pretty hard to squash this further manually, if needed I suggest just merging this with squash & merge on GitHub UI.
