sclang-extensions

A collection of minor modes that improve your SuperCollider experience within Emacs. Includes improvements to auto-completion and documentation tooltips (ala Eldoc).

sclang-ac-mode

This mode communicates with the SuperCollider process to provide more intelligent completion candidates.

• Class names
• Instance methods
• Instance variables

These are dynamically generated and context-sensitive - typing SinOsc.ar will no longer prompt you with Array for example.

sclang-doc-mode

Shows information about the class or method under the cursor in the minibuffer. This lets you see arglists and class descriptions without trawling through the SuperCollider help system.

sclang-post-mode

Displays feedback from SuperCollider in the minibuffer. This means you no longer have to keep the Post window open all the time.

Installation

sclang-extensions is available on MELPA. This is the easiest way to install.

If you haven't set up MELPA, you'll need to add the following to your init.el

;;; Initialize packages.

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))
(package-initialize)
(unless package-archive-contents (package-refresh-contents))

Once MELPA is configured:

1. M-x package-install sclang-extensions.

2. Configure your init.el:

   (add-hook 'sclang-mode-hook 'sclang-extensions-mode)

You will need to install the SuperCollider language mode for Emacs if you do not already have it. Grab the latest version here.
