GIMP Auto-Complete Python API for Sublime Text

This auto-complete plugin covers 1000+ Functions and Constants available in GIMP's Plugin API. All these functions and constants are now just a few keys away. Simply type some letters of a function and press Enter. The full function name, qualified by module identifier pdb, together with arguments (if any) shall appear at cursor location. Imagine how much typing that would save you.

Tips

• Remember, f is for ... Functions, and c is for ... Constants.
• You don't need to type pdb or . or any of the prefixes, like gimp, python_fu, script_fu, etc. Just type a few letters from the "true name" of a function/constant. Observe the patterns used in examples.
• You could use Tab and Shift+Tab to cycle forward and backward through arguments.
• If you accidentally invoke an undesirable completion, performing a simple Undo ctrl + z might be a better fix, rather than manually deleting the unwanted bits.
