Auto complete coming to Workbench
Besides writing GTK faster than light, I want to use it to help newcomers discover and learn about widgets and properties.
Thanks @andyholmes for the help!
I could play with this all day
Now with documentation and automatically suggest proposals
@sonny Is this already in main? Or how do I try it out?
@rolandlo not quite, I'm also using a patched blueprint-compiler. I'll try to get it in gnome nightly soon and announce it on twig.
@sonny Ok, great! I'm planning to write an article on gnulinux.ch about it once it can be tested conveniently, spreading the message.
@rolandlo neat, please do wait for it to be released in stable
@sonny Sure! I'll just start playing around with it earlier than that.
@rolandlo it's available in Workbench nightly :)
Have fun, feedback very welcome!
@sonny
Thanks for letting me know!

Generally speaking it works great and saves a lot of time. I noticed that Ctrl+Space works for getting a list of all suggestions without starting to type. Not sure this is generally known.
One issue:
When typing Adw.To I don't get
Adw.ToastOverlay in the list of suggestions. Only after I delete the o and T and type them again I get this suggestion.
One thing I was wondering: Could there be suggestions for Adwaita style classes https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/main/style-classes.html when using the styles keyword?
