please post any bugs. and tell me if you have any requests or suggestions.
Just a little update on how to use:
1, When you type something, e.g: GameTooltip:SetOwner, in order to get the exact match avoid using : but simply type GameTooltipSetOwner and press tab. If you use the : only the SetOwner will be matched, so the first tab stop will not be GameTooltip but SetOwner.
In case Widget's also has return values, you will not have to type: _GameTooltip:IsUnit, simply just provide: _IsUnit which will match: isUnit = GameTooltip:IsUnit("unit")
2, Using an _ before typing anything, indicates that what you are about to type includes a return value, e.g: UnitAura will post the following - UnitAura(arguments) while _UnitAura will post all-the-return-values = UnitAura(arguments).
3, If you find the above examples somewhat annoying to use and you prefer to use the old style - simply type it as you would: local some_return_value = frame:CreateTexture, now as you press tab only CreateTexture will be matched and you'll get the following: local some_return_value = frame:CreateTexture(arguments)
So you can pretty much select any style you'd like. Some prefer to just write local _CreateFrame and tab to get the following: local frame = CreateFrame(arguments) while other prefer to write local frame = CreateFrame tab.
4, The → arrow in the dropdown menu shown when typing, means that the function has more arguments than the dropdown menu can show. so e.g: SetOwner(frame, →) means that the first argument is a frame and that there is an additional 1 or more arguments.
