as of release 0.1.2 the bids you can extract from a function call are
"(argument <argument_index>|keyword <keyword_index>|keyword value <keyword_value_index>|entire keyword <entire_keyword_index>|<caller> [<sub_index>]|entire call)"
which provides for a lot of options ( including going to empty function calls ) but one thing that is currently missing is the ability to select all of the arguments in function call.
Now my first idea was to utilize a name like
argument list
which would also make it similar toparameter list
. However I believe something likearguments all
might better off,i feel it might sound better with a small expansion have in mindIn particular there have been times where I have been interested in selecting only the positional arguments or the one passed by keyword, so having something like
positional all
andkeywords all
would also make sense! However, there are a couple of issues involvedkeyword
is traditionally used for picking up only the keyword name, which might be a source of confusion, especially if you take into account that the natural expansion would be to support picking up all the keyword names or keyword values. in order to support the latter, small modifications would have to be made to the backend similar to the ones in the dedicated sub indexing queries to allow for multiple results per input because keyword names are going to be separated from one anotherThe text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
