Would you like smart code completion to work only on the included files or in the current project?<br></blockquote><br>Whole project. FlashDevelop have got this kind of thing right, if you could use that as a model then you'd have an amazing plugin.<br><br><blockquote type="cite">2. What Frameworks for PHP do you use with textmate?<br></blockquote><br>If you can get point 1 right then this doesn't matter.<br><br><blockquote type="cite">3. Do you mind if the bundle creates an extra hidden folder to cache the parsed code?<br></blockquote><br>For me, no. Provided there was an option to clear that cache somehow.<br><br><blockquote type="cite">When I say Smart Autocompletion, I mean it'll know your classes inheritance, how you call them, the scope, etc.<br></blockquote><br>FlashDevelop goes even further with this, parsing JavaDoc style comments and using them as tooltips in the autocomplete. Very handy.</span></div></blockquote><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="monospace"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="monospace">Gaby, I already got it right.

Mostly because most of them use different naming conventions adding prefixes to the "real classes" and removing them from the loading process.
