Ctags does not provide suggestion build in C++ types

Post by saejox »

Hi,

ctags does not complete types suchs as; int, unsigned, float, class, inline, public etc...
works perfect for the classes i defined and their properties.
clang completion works. (but it is strict and without hinting it is not very useful)

how do i enable this?

Thank you.

They should be suggested automatically after typing 2 chars

Make sure that this settings is enabled:
"Settings > Tags settings > General > Display and Behavior > Display completion box for language keywords"

i tried almost every option available in options and found the problem.

built-in keywords show up when "Auto-Display wordcompletion-box on typing" is disabled.
when that box is enabled, built c++ keywords do not show up. no matter how many letters i type. (only my objects are listed)

as i understand it if that box is disabled it should not display any suggestion when i start typing, but i does show built-in keywords.

i used release version 4.0 r5589 for this test.

thank you.
