* lisp/completion-preview.el
(completion-preview--try-table): Let-bind
'completion-extra-properties' to completion properties
that the completion backend (capf) provides, so that these
properties take effect when querying the completion table.
* test/lisp/completion-preview-tests.el
(completion-preview-propagates-properties): Add test.
When completing with Completion Preview mode commands,
inherit text properties from surrounding text similarly to
other completion commands, such as 'completion-at-point'.
* lisp/completion-preview.el (completion-preview-insert)
(completion-preview-partial-insert)
(completion-preview-complete): Use 'insert-and-inherit'
instead of 'insert' to insert text for completion.
* test/lisp/completion-preview-tests.el
(completion-preview-insert-inherits-text-properties): New
test.
* lisp/completion-preview.el (Commentary): Mention
`completion-preview-partial-insert' and elaborate about
`completion-preview-insert-sexp'.
(completion-preview--barf-if-no-preview): New function.
(completion-preview-insert, completion-preview-complete):
Use it.
(completion-preview-partial-insert): Rename arg to FUN; only
compute (+ end (length aft)) once; bind 'deactivate-mark' to
nil while inserting/deleting to allow commands that use this
function to work as expected with 'shift-select-mode';
improve behavior when called with point not at the start of
the completion preview overlay (e.g. when point is in the
middle of a multi-word symbol and this function is called
via 'completion-preview-insert-word'); add the base part of
the completion candidate to when calling exit-function.
(completion-preview-insert-word): Improve docsting, rename
argument ARG to N.
(completion-preview-insert-sexp): Likewise, and also remove
second argument INTERACTIVE.
(completion-preview--active-p): Rename to...
(completion-preview-active-p): ...this. Make this function
public so users can leverage it for their own commands.
Extend docstring to explain how to do that.
* test/lisp/completion-preview-tests.el
(completion-preview-insert-calls-exit-function)
(completion-preview-insert-word): Break long lines.
(completion-preview-insert-sexp)
(completion-preview-insert-nonsubword)
(completion-preview-insert-subword): Fix docstrings.
(completion-preview-insert-mid-symbol): New test.
This command completes the symbol at point up to the longest
common prefix of all completions candidates. We also add an
indication of the longest common prefix in the completion
preview by highlighting that part of the preview with the
'completion-preview-exact' face. To facilitate these features
we change the way we store the completion candidates while the
preview is visible, to explicitly keep the common prefix along
with a list of its suffixes.
* lisp/completion-preview.el (completion-preview--try-table):
Return longest common prefix and list of suffixes instead of
list of full candidates. Add illustrative comment.
(completion-preview--capf-wrapper, completion-preview--update)
(completion-preview--show, completion-preview-insert)
(completion-preview-next-candidate): Adjust.
(completion-preview-common): New face.
(completion-preview-exact): Tweak to distinguish it from
'completion-preview-common'.
(completion-preview-complete): New command.
(completion-preview-active-mode-map): Bind it.
(completion-preview-mode): Mention it in docstring.
(completion-preview-commands): Add 'completion-preview-complete'.
(completion-preview--make-overlay): Simplify.
(completion-preview--internal-command-p): Remove.
(completion-preview-require-certain-commands): Update.
(completion-preview--inhibit-update): New inline function.
(completion-preview--inhibit-update-p): New local variable.
(completion-preview--post-command, completion-preview-hide):
Reset it to nil.
* test/lisp/completion-preview-tests.el
(completion-preview-tests--check-preview): Check the 'face'
property of both the first and last character. Update callers.
(completion-preview-insert-calls-exit-function)
(completion-preview-complete): New tests. (Bug#70381)
This fixes an issue where 'completion-preview-next-candidate'
would fail to take into account the part of the symbol that
follows point (the suffix) when point is at the middle of a
symbol, as well as a similar issue in 'completion-preview--show'
that would manifest with slow 'completion-at-point-functions'.
* lisp/completion-preview.el (completion-preview-next-candidate)
(completion-preview--show): Ensure that the completion preview
remains at the end of a symbol, when updating it while point is
in the middle of that symbol.
* test/lisp/completion-preview-tests.el
(completion-preview-mid-symbol-cycle): New test. (Bug#68875)
Fix handling of capfs that return a function or signal an error,
respect the ':exclusive' completion property, fix lingering "exact"
face after deletion that makes the matches non-exact, and add tests.
* lisp/completion-preview.el (completion-preview--make-overlay): Only
reuse the previous 'after-string' if it has the right face.
(completion-preview--try-table)
(completion-preview--capf-wrapper): New functions.
(completion-preview--update): Use them.
* test/lisp/completion-preview-tests.el: New file. (Bug#67275)
