texthint interface (kde4)

[Joseph Wenninger]

Hi!

There is the old texthint interface, which I never implemented for kate though 
and, since it was very limited from the the begining on (I know, I've created 
the interface, but I'm not proud of it)

What do users of such an interface really need ? eg for displaying values of 
variables in kdevelop. Which functions, slots or signals would a user really 
need ?

I would appreciate if this mail starts a brainstorming thread on 
ktexteditor-devel

Kind regards
