How to always trigger code suggestions of vala

[ykpcx (Zhaobin Huang)]

when I write vala codes in Builder, it seems the code suggestion box will only be triggered when I type .

in the picture above, there is no suggestion box.
as a comparison, in C, it will show

So is the function missing for vala or there is a way to enable it?

I think that, all the vala support in Builder is provided by VLS (Vala Language Server). But in C, things like "ctags" might offer extra features which might not be possible to offer in vala code. That’s just my guess.

You can raise a feature request in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-builder/-/issues

Cheers!

Okay. Then I suggest you wait for the dev(s) to respond.
