Generating Completions for AutoComplete

[jrose]

Is is it possible for me to create a parameterized completion and insert it with out opening the autocompletion description and list windows? What I want to be able to do is insert

(search-replace [search-string] [replace-string])

where the form supports tabbing through the params etc.

thanks

How do you envision the user instigating the completion without the popup? Do you want it to start automatically after, say, typing "(search-replace"? Or typing Ctrl+C after that string automatically inserts the parametrized completion? Or something else?

What would really be ideal is if I could just make a completion and insert it where ever the caret is or at a specified location. For my project I have a central REPL command line type interface which is where I want to have all applications commands take place. So instead of cmd+F opening a search GUI I am focusing the REPL component, appending a new command line, and then just inserting my search command and moving the caret back to be inside the quotes

cmd+F
=> (search "|")

cmf+shift+F
=> (search-replace "|" )

what would be perfect for me though is the parameterized completion being able to be inserted then have the completion focus to handle being tabbed through

=> (search-replace [search-string] [replace-string])

Lastly, not sure if it would be too unconventionally for the AutoComplete classes but it would be really great if the event that is fired when a user hits enter and completes the completion could be accessed. I am attaching a key handler to the REPL RSTA that grabs the last form after the prompt => and then sends it on to the REPL process. If I could somehow hook an event listener up to the Completion, completed event I could bypass the need to hit enter to complete then enter to submit.
