Features

Smartbrackets

If you type unmatched ],

[CPButton alloc] ]

Smartbrackets will add [ before [ which matches the last ] and move the cursor before ] which you typed. (indicated with ^ below)

[[CPButton alloc] ]
                  ^

In another case, if you type ] after an Objective-J method,

[CPButton alloc] init]

Smartbrackets will add a bracket and move the cursor just after the letter you typed then.

[[CPButton alloc] init]
                       ^

Omni-completion

By typing C-x C-o, you can use omni-completion anywhere you should input class names, methods and constants. The plugin provides an Objective-J omni-completion according to precalculated class databases(*.jd files).
By default, the repository includes the databases for Foundation.framework and AppKit.framework

var button = [CPButton alloc] in
                                ^
var button = [[CPButton alloc] init];
