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

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello Christian,

The separator characters play an essential role in the auto completion
mechanism as it works now in Oxygen. The editor detects the prefix of an
XML tag name, an XML attribute name or a code template name by going
backwards from the cursor position to a separator character. Please give
some examples of sequences of characters and what you mean by triggering
the auto completion anywhere for these sequences. How many characters
should the prefix detection go backwards?


Regards,
Sorin
