[oXygen-user] Feature Request for Content Completion with East Asian Text

[Sorin Ristache]

I am sorry, the code completion is not displayed regardless of the
preceding characters. You need to have a space character and a prefix of
the name of the code template already inserted in the document or at
least a space character at the position of the cursor. We already have
an issue logged in our system for displaying the code completion popup
containing only code templates if there are no XML element names
appropriate for the current context. We will implement it in a future
version of Oxygen.


Regards,
Sorin
