Why terminal do not generate content assist ? [message #894062]

Hi,

with this grammar the content assist is generated:

Model:
	greetings+=Greeting*;
	
Greeting:
	'Hello' name=ID '!';

But if I change the keyword in the rule by a terminal, xtext is not generating proper content assist.

Model:
	greetings+=Greeting*;
	
Greeting:
	HELLO name=ID '!';
	
terminal HELLO:
	'Hello'
;

Am I missing something here ?

thanks,

Cristiano

Xtext does not try to give meaningful CA for custom terminals you
have to implement the corresponding method in the proposal provider
yourself. Btw terminals as you showed are absolutely unusual since
you use usually keywords for that

Hi,

I think there has been a feature request / discussion already.

Currently there are no proposals for terminals (note: keyword!=terminal) whatsoever, as generally a terminal covers more than a handful of possibilities. In this case it makes no sense to suggest anything at all (or rather there will be no agreement on which 3 possibilities to suggest).

Hi,
I just think that a terminal being used inside a rule were a keyword.

thanks.
