[Eric] Autocompletion behaviour

[Alex Gerhardt-Bourke]

Hi Detlev,



I saw the new config pages for the new plug-ins and have enabled them all, but I still don’t get the desired results. Behaviour is still as described in my last email.

After the installation of these plug-ins, you will find additional
configuration pages for auto completion and call tips. On these pages you have
to enable the modules you want to want to get support from. You should look at
"Mouse Click Handlers" as well. With that you can configure a navigation
feature (e.g. Ctrl+Click on a method usage jumps to the method definition).
