Description

« Hide

The language support is missing live template support (or live templates need to be aware of language plug-ins).

For example, I want that for JavaScript code (.js files or in HTML, JSP, etc.) I will be able to use a different version of itar that will be JavaScript compatible.

Currently it seems that the Live Templates configuration is not aware of plug-in languages (i.e. the JavaScript plug-in) and all I can do is create a live template and enable it on 'other', and I can't have variants of the same live template for different languages (I want itar to exist for both Java and JavaScript).

There are other areas where language API should play a role, for example structural search and replace.

It's a shame not to have this feature available for language plug-ins as it is an extremely time saving feature on the Java side.

More generally, the focus context should be used as much as possible to filter the L.T. that are offered to the user:

context= the file type (this request)

context= selection or not (=>surround or plain L.T.)

context= expected result type

Another related bug that I thought was fixed before but is not is the scope of Live Templates.

I added a simple live template for JavaScript and if I set it to be active only on "Other" and not "Java" then it is not active in my .js files. Once I activate it for "Java" (which I don't want to do as it produces invalid Java code) and "Other" I can use it in .js files.

Live template contexts are pluggable in Diana. Need to move the necessary interfaces to OpenAPI.
