`@` trigger conflicts with Completr plugin

[Mark Van Aken]

Hey there,

I've been messing around with the NLDates and Completr plugins, however, whenever I type @, I do not get nldates's suggestions. I've tried a lot of things to try and work around it in terms of doing fancy things to make sure Completr wouldn't be invoked by the way or location I was typing in, but nldate suggestions never came up.

It only worked after I turned off Completr. I really would like to use both plugins at the same time if possible.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Completr plugin
2. Install NLDates
3. Make a new file
4. Try to invoke NLDates using @
5. Observe that NLDate suggestions do not appear

Thanks!

@vanakema you can change the trigger phrase of nldates in the settings

@argenos I think this is actually a limitation of the new EditorSuggest class. Since Completr is "handling it" the event will never get to NLDates. So I don't think changing the trigger phrase will help.

Admittedly, I did not look into Completr and assumed they were using the same trigger phrase. In that case, I think this bug is better reported in the Completr repo or should at least have a matching issue there @vanakema

[Mark Van Aken]

Completr doesn't have a trigger phrase. It just shows as you type

[Argentina Ortega Sáinz]

@vanakema yeah, that is sort of the point. Since it's catching everything you type, there's no way for nldates (afaik) to be able to handle this. nldates only gets triggered with the trigger phrase in the settings.
