21 * \class CodeCompletionModelControllerInterface codecompletionmodelcontrollerinterface.h <KTextEditor/CodeCompletionModelControllerInterface>
22 *
23 * \short Controller interface for a CodeCompletionModel
24 *
25 * \ingroup kte_group_ccmodel_extensions
26 *
27 * The CodeCompletionModelControllerInterface gives an CodeCompletionModel better
28 * control over the completion.
29 *
30 * By implementing methods defined in this interface you can:
31 * - control when automatic completion should start (shouldStartCompletion())
32 * - define a custom completion range (that will be replaced when the completion
33 * is executed) (completionRange())
34 * - dynamically modify the completion range during completion (updateCompletionRange())
35 * - specify the string used for filtering the completion (filterString())
36 * - control when completion should stop (shouldAbortCompletion())
37 *
38 * When the interface is not implemented, or no methods are overridden the
39 * default behaviour is used, which will be correct in many situations.
40 *
41 *
42 * \section ccmodelcontroller_impl Implementing the Interface
43 * To use this class implement it in your CodeCompletionModel.
