[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56208] GUI Editor autocomplete list could show variables from current workspace

[Torsten Lilge]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #56208 (project octave):

When in debug mode, hovering with the mouse over a variable displays a tooltip
with the value of the variable. For this, the current list of symbols is
fetched by

QStringList symbol_names
        = m_octave_qobj.get_workspace_model ()->get_symbol_names ();

get_symbol_names () just returns a class variable which holds the current list
of symbols. However, this list can not directly be used by scintilla for auto
completion. The lists for auto completion have to be prepared for the related
interface. Since this takes some time, it would be not a good idea to do this
each time an auto completion list is going to be shown.
