In #387, I requested a feature that adds parentheses after functions completed with
Tab
orEnter
.This pull request implements the feature I requested (function completion with added parentheses), but also strives to make autocompletion work like in the VSCode Python extension and PyCharm. In VSCode and PyCharm,
Tab
applies completion instead of cycling through completion options, like in bash or zsh.TLDR:
previous behavior:
Tab
cycles completionproposed behavior:
Tab
applies completionCurrently, this feature is enabled by default, but it can be disabled using by adding
to
config.py
.For more information, please take a look at this comment in #387.
