string name property

Palette name

string type property

Palette type

var value property

Property value of the palette (could be a variety of types)

object extension property

Extension for this palette

init(var value) signal

Signals that the value was initialized

LiveExtension type

Propertyobject globals
Propertyvar interceptLanguage
Propertyvar interceptMenu
Propertyvar commands
Propertyvar keyBindings
Propertyvar configuration

The class within Qml to be used when we want to add an extension

An example of an extension is the locally used EditQmlExtension.qml.

Each of the properties below has an appropriate signal <propertyName>Changed() to indicate change.

object globals property

Globally available variables inside LiveKeys

var interceptLanguage property

Function that returns a handler for the given extension (e.g. qml, js)

var interceptMenu property

Function that returns a menu array for the given extension (e.g. qml)

var commands property

Object of commands for the given extension

var keyBindings property

Key shortcuts for the given extension

var configuration property

Extension configuration

The go-to class when it comes to handling documents

Forwards everything to the highlighter, has a completion model in case there's a specific code handler attached to it, it can auto-complete code, which is all behavior inherited from the AbstractCodeHandler.

var completionModel property

Model used for completion of code

var codeHandler property

Handler for the document code

bool editorFocus property

Indicator that the editor is in focus

insertCompletion(int from, int to, string completion) method

Adds specific completion that the user picked between given positions

documentContentsChanged(int position, int charsRemoved, int charsAdded) method

Slot that is connected to document changes

cursorWritePositionChanged(var cursor) method

Slot reacting to cursor position change Potentially triggers the assisted completion

setDocument(var document, var options) method

Document that the document handler is operating on

documentFormatUpdate(int position, int length) method

Slot for changes in document format - triggers a rehighlight

generateCompletion(int cursorPosition) method

Generates code completion at a given cursor position

contextBlockRange(int cursorPosition) method

Finds the boundaries of the code block containing the cursor position

manageIndent(int from, int length, bool undo) method

Used to manage indentation of selected text

targetChanged() signal

Target document changed

cursorPositionRequest(int position) signal

Cursor position change request

contentsChangedManually() signal

Document content was changed manually

editorFocusChanged() signal

Editor focus changed

codeHandlerChanged() signal

Code handler changed
