I want to be able to chain live template predefined functions so the output of one can be used as the input of another, like so:
underscoresToSpaces(fileNameWithoutExtension())
I have a (perhaps false) memory of having been able to do this before, but can't manage to get it to work again.
I am using RubyMine 8.0.3.
Chaining predefined functions in RubyMine live templates works for me in a straightforward way. Defining this live template in Preferences → Editor → Live Templates
and typing fws in an editor inserts the file's name without spaces.
Current RubyMine (I'm using 8.0.3 too) has a bug which causes a template variable's expression to not be saved properly if you tab out of the expression field. Work around it by clicking OK after entering the expression.

Netbeans has a nifty shortcut completion, I use while I type. It works in comments, in strings. Pretty much places where regular completion is useless. It basically autocompletes using the editor scope (in other words, whatever word matches closes to the point you are typing). Is there something similar in Eclipse ? I am making a transition due to lack of mybatis/mylyn support in netbeans. You can read more about it here https://blogs.oracle.com/chengfang/entry/why_am_i_using_netbeans .
It's called Word Completion. The key binding may vary; Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+L to find out.
CTRL+Space will show and sometimes autocomplete (depends on the settings you choose) methods names, variables and etc.
You can read more about specific settings and further fine tuning here.
I have installed GGTS, on ubuntu and am trying to edit .Groovy files with the built in editor.
The autocomplete is extremely annoying because while it will recognize my domain objects i.e. my User class etc.. It doesn't recognize basic groovy, for instance I start typing "def" to define a variable then hit space and it will autocomplete to "Default", similarly if I try to type in "return" it autocompletes to "RETURN" while I am typing as soon as I hit space, which is very annoying.
Like i said it will recognize classes, so if I type def u = new User(), the User part will complete ok, but the problem is that the variable u I defined earlier isn't recgonized later in the code.
I hope you guys get my meaning... No idea how to fix it, short of not using the groovy editor and treating it as plain text. I even tried disabling content assist, but that didn't seem to work for some reason
I was having this problem in GGTS 3.4.0.RELEASE today, and getting very angry with the situation.
Somehow my workspace had the "Auto activation triggers for Java" set to "_.abcd....z" (all the lowercase letters)
Window -> Preferences
Java -> Editor -> Content Assist
"Auto activation triggers for Java" set to just "."
This seems to have helped dramatically.
I'm still not sure what caused my workspace to have this setting.
Make sure that you're in the Grails perspective; that can impact some of the Groovy/Grails features and how Eclipse (even GGTS) leverages them. You'll find the perspective button in the upper right. If you're in Java or Debug, odd things like this may occur.
Also, how are you creating and opening your Groovy files? Do you use the context menus or the Grails command prompt tool to issue orders like "create-controller"? If you're creating the files in some other way, try using those methods to generate them, and see if you get the same results.
I find myself typing JavaScript in the console a lot. For example, I quickly want to see the result if I change the property of a certain object. However every time that I refresh the page I have to redefine my variables, etc. I do this by using the up-key, so I do not have to retype, but this costs a lot of time. What is a better way?
The ultimate coolness would be an environment like Sublime Text in which you can write multi line code and from there execute it directly in the browser... And then still have the autocomplete list of all the methods of an object (like in the console). Obviously this is not available, but I am very interesting in the workflow of other when typing JavaScript code in the console.
In Chrome 24's Sources panel, use the Snippets tab. Right-click in the left (blank) tree and choose New from the context menu.
I've seen similar questions to this on StackOverflow regarding adding highlighting to a language, but what I'm concerned with is getting Eclipse (I'm guessing xtext?) to stop marking certain syntax as incorrect for a language.
Specifically, I have a wrapper from which I call PIG files that looks for certain syntax in the PIG file that would normally be illegal in PIG and substitutes a template for it. I'd like Eclipse to stop marking this syntax as incorrect and giving me ugly red x's in my folder structure because of it. Is there a simple way to do this? Or failing that, to at least disable marking of incorrect for that language in general?
Generally, error markers are created by two entities: editors and builders (compilers). If your existing editor understands the PIG format, it might display parse errors in the opened editor as you are typing. The only way to disable this feature is to re-open the file using a different editor (right-click the file, select Open with... and find an editor - e.g. plain text editor). To support syntax highlighting/error display in other parts, but not in special parts, you have to provide your own editor - that can be written using Xtext.
If the error markers are provided using a builder, then they are only refreshed on save - when it tries to understand the format, and provide an output. In this case, you only have to make sure that the templates are substituted before the file is executed (you can reorder the builder in the project preferences if needed). If you have no such builder, you could disable the PIG builder, that would prevent displaying the erroneous markers (however, it also disables displaying the correct ones as well).
Is there a QuickText like (Tab Trigger) plugin for Eclipse?
If I read Tab Triggers of TextMate correctly, especially the part stating:
Tab triggers are also useful when they match program keywords and lead to actions (such as inserting snippets) that do what you would normally do after entering the keyword.
, the closest eclipse feature for that would be Preferences / Java / Editor / Templates
(the difference being that is is triggered not by Tab, but rather by Ctrl+Space...)
The example for instance allows you to insert quite a bit of code after typing only three letters...
