I am once more seeking participants for a user study. We'll be evaluating a prototype code editor that completes your text with placeholders for missing tokens expected by the language. Here's a short video of me motivating the editor and study.

Details in thread. Reskeets appreciated! 🙏

what's in a selection?

don't like where a completion appears? put it where you want. in the meantime, they'll ensure your code is well-formed and well-indented.

new tylr featuring inline obligations. press tab to jump to the next obligation, either a hole or a token-completion, or to accept the current completion.

(no language models were harmed in the making of this video)

This was recorded using tylr.fun/teen. Page 3/10 has the starter code. Trash button in the upper right resets the editor to the initial state. Hope that helps!

Nothing polished on hand but Fig 4 of our VL/HCC paper (tylr.fun/vlhcc23.pdf) shows a representative series of screenshots of teen tylr in action, and I'll add a screen recording in reply
