With this function the tt(context) parameter will be set to the name of the value whose argument is to be completed. +Note also that tt(_values) normally adds the character used as the +separator between values as a auto-removable suffix so that users don't +have to type it themselves. But when using a `tt(->)var(string)' action +tt(_values) can't do that because the matches for the argument will be +generated by the calling function. To get the usual behaviour, the +implementor of the calling function has to add the suffix directly by +passing the options `tt(-qS) var(x)' (where var(x) is the separator +character specified with the tt(-s) option of tt(_values)) to the +function generating the matches or to the tt(compadd) builtin. + Like tt(_arguments), tt(_values) supports the tt(-C) option in which case you have to make the parameter tt(curcontext) local instead of tt(context) (as described above). |
