Tutorial got stuck
I'm using build 156 and I'm stuck with the tutorial at a very early stage:
while trying to select the "constant" cell model after creating the editor
and selecting "collection(horizontal)". The 'Node cell layout' looks like
[> << ... >> <]
the last <] is gray. In the Inspector a < cell collection > is displayed
with the properties 'cell layout', 'actions' and 'keymap' having red
borders, the last two ones also a red background. I'm absolutely clueless,
where the caret is, pressing Ctrl-Space does not allow to complete anything.
Hoping for help,
Tom
Please sign in to leave a comment.
OK, forgot to select "<< ... >>" and press Ctrl-Enter.
Could you please preselect "<< ... >>" instead of "<]" so Ctrl-Enter works
directly after completing "collection(horizontal)"?
Tom
Strange, I am using build 160 and I cannot go beyond this point: even selecting << ... >> Ctrl+Space doesn't work.
What can I do? I am stuck.
TIA

Ctrl-Enter or Insert (but not Ctrl-Space)
Oh my God!
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Sorry, I really need to take a break (and use less Eclipse) :-)
Thanks a lot
Giuliano
Ok, I am stupid, but what is the logic behind using CtrlSpace sometimes and CtrlEnter or Ctrl+Insert some other times? Which is the rule of thumb in terms of usability that I may use to remember (apart from trying in one way, if it fails trying the other way).
TIA
Giuliano
I think:
Ctrl+Enter creates a new element within a collection (collections are marked with << ... >>>)
Ctrl+Space shows the completion suggestions for an element
Francesco
Ctrl-Space is generally CHANGE selected node (AKA auto-complete/substitute)
Itesrt,Ctrl-Enter(also double/triple.. Ctrl-Enter),Enter - ADD new node
Thanks,
this is a rule of thumb that I may try to remember.
Cheers

Hi, Rob
CtrlEnterEnter... - inserts new node into higher level parent.
for instance, if current selection is argument in a method invocation experssion, then:
Ctrl-Enter - inserts new argument (expression)
Ctrl-Enter-Enter - inserts new statement after current statement.
and so on.

hi Piergiuliano,
In fact it is quite natural to try to replace cell
<< ... >> with something else using Ctrl-Space.
It will work in next build.
Tanx!
