DevTools/Features/AutocompletionPopup review in progress 2011-04-30 Kevin Dangoor

Summary

The current JavaScript autocompletion in the web console suffers from some usability issues (difficulty in discovering other names that are available, inconvenient keyboard shortcuts for choosing a name).

Team

  • Feature Manager: Kevin Dangoor
  • Lead Developer: Mihai Sucan (irc: msucan)

Release Requirements

(describe autocompletion behavior here)

If the feature is not ready during the Aurora phase, msucan will back it out.


Related Bugs & Dependencies

bug 585991 is the bug that contains the feature.


Other Documentation

Autocompletion is implemented in many contexts. Prior to this feature, our completion is similar to that of the WebKit Inspector, but Firebug's current completion UI (which uses a popup as proposed here) seems more usable.
