EditorActionManager is not getting hit in between auto-closed parantheses
Answered
In my plugin I've registered an action handler to do something when the tab key is hit:
editorActionManager.setActionHandler(ACTION_EDITOR_TAB, EditorActionTabHandler(oldTabHandler))
This works well in most circumstances, but I noticed that if my caret is between two auto-closed characters (like quotes, parentheses, or braces), hitting tab simply moves my caret past the closed character and doesn't ever hit my action handler.
For example, suppose I type (where | represents my caret / cursor)
x = (|
My IDE automatically inserts a closing parenthesis:
x = (|)
Now when I hit tab, the caret is moved to the right of the parenthesis:
x = ()|
but my action handler is never called. Any idea why?

I did solve the problem. I now have two action handlers, one that responds to ACTION_EDITOR_TAB and one that responds to ACTION_BRACE_OR_QUOTE_OUT.
The EditorActionTabOutHandler looks like this:
class EditorActionTabOutHandler(old: EditorActionHandler) : EditorActionHandler() {
private val oldHandler = old
override fun doExecute(editor: Editor, caret: Caret?, dataContext: DataContext?) {
if (/* plugin specific logic */) {
/* handle TAB command */
return
}
oldHandler.execute(editor, caret, dataContext)
}
override fun isEnabledForCaret(
editor: Editor,
caret: Caret,
dataContext: DataContext?
): Boolean {
val caretOffset: Int = caret.offset
val isTabOut = TabOutScopesTracker.getInstance().hasScopeEndingAt(editor, caretOffset)
val shouldHandleTabCommand = /* plugin specific logic */
return isTabOut || shouldHandleTabCommand
}
}
So now when a user hits Tab in a situation where it would normally invoke the ACTION_BRACE_OR_QUOTE_OUT handler, it hits this handler instead which checks if my plugin should handle the tab. If it shouldn't, it lets the Tab Out action happen. Hopefully that makes sense.
I guess I handled this by also registering an action handler for ACTION_BRACE_OR_QUOTE_OUT
Hi,
Could you please clarify the last message? Did you solve the problem? If so, how did you do it with ACTION_BRACE_OR_QUOTE_OUT?
