Autocompletion and Calltips with API Files

API files provide a handy way to make Qwined usage more productive. The purpose is to provide automation for programming or any other technical work.

API file concept provides autocompletion and calltip support. This means that Qwined monitors your input and recognizes the word or term the user is writing. Qwined offers autocompletion of the word and it can show the syntax or argumentation as a calltip. For instance API files allow to display calltips, similarly as the popular Microsoft Intellisense® found in Microsoft Visual Studio.

API files are associated with file extensions in the Qwined options. There can be multiple API files associated for a file type and there are no limitations for the amount of file types.

You can use or even modify the provided API files. You can also create your own custom API files for any programming language or other similar use.

Auto Completion

Qwined allows you to customize the behavior of the word completion feature, based on the file type being edited. You can utilize the word completion from the API file by invoking it via the shortcut key Ctrl+Space or Ctrl+i.

Calltips

With the calltip configured, when you type the open parenthesis after a function or method name, a scrollable pop-up help box displays the possible arguments. You can enter the arguments accordingly, and also use the mouse to navigate up and down to see the other signatures. You can also invoke calltips by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Space with the cursor located inside of the function or method parameter parenthesis.
