Shows a pop-up message for the first error.
Always returns 1 (true).
autocomplete
This method is called on two events:
Arguments: The event object (optional)
Returns the prefix length and an array of suggestions. prefix_length is the number of characters left to the cursor position which need to be replaced if a suggestion is accepted.
If there are no suggestions, the functions returns an empty list.
In case of error the function returns the error string as the first parameter. Hence users of this subroution need to check if the value returned in the first position is undef meaning no result or a string (including non digits) which means a failure or a number which means the prefix length.
WARNING: This method runs very often (on each keypress), keep it as efficient and fast as possible!
event_on_char
This event fires once for every char which should be added to the editor window.
Typing this line fired it about 41 times!
Arguments: Current editor object, current event object
Returns nothing useful.
Notice: The char being typed has not been inserted into the editor at the run time of this method. It could be read using $event->GetUnicodeKey
WARNING: This method runs very often (on each keypress), keep it as efficient and fast as possible!
