Hi,

What I want already mentioned in the title. How can I have completion engine in a DLTK editor without script language project. Reading the third step of the tutorials I noticed that an IProject was necessary in order to enjoy completion.

If there is no way to avoid projects, is it possible to enable completion by adding programmatically a specific project nature to other projects?

Regards

Hi Kevin,

Definitely, it should work if you add your nature to the project. The only issue is if project already has other DLTK nature, since at the moment DLTK will take only the first one. We want to fix it, but I can't promise the exact date.

Generally, the nature & project are required to enabled indexing of project files. Without index the completion is limited to this file types/functions only, but if it makes sense for your language then you can implement this mode as well.

Regards,
Alex
