Description alberto 2013-06-26 03:44:19 UTC 
A feature lacking in LibreOffice holding me to make the switch is the ability for the IDE to auto complete (ie. give suggestions according to the API) when writing code.

For example, when writing a VBA macro with MS Office, if I write:

"Object.", then after a couple of milisseconds (or after pressing Ctrl+Space), a drop-down list with the possible methods and variables are shown.

This makes coding a lot faster, because I don´t need to keep switching windows to consult the LibreOffice API in almost every line of code written on the web browser.

Hi Alberto,
Thanks for writing this long existing wish in an issue.
I set the version against 3.3.0 - it's obviously inherrited behaviour from OOo.
Also, knowing the discussions, there are some technical reasons why this probably is not an easy to resolve issue ;)
Pls look for support with XRay and examples, forums to help you master LibreOffice scripting !
Regards,
Cor
