Title: Autocompletion/Code-completion/Intellisense?
Post by: risingMind on March 11, 2010, 02:01:28 AM

Hello,

I've searched around and can't find the answer to this.  Is there a way to enable code-completion (or autocompletion or Intellisense) in SciTE Script Editor?  I know you can enable the syntax highlighting thing, but that's not the same thing.

If it's not possible in SciTE, then is there an WM script editor where it is?  I've searched and found that there were a couple script editors planning to use code-completion but all of them are old/outdated.

I'm not not a native programmer and find code-completion extremely helpful, if not a Godsend to my programming efforts, so I'm just curious if it's possible.

Thanks for your help

PS I apologize if the answer is painfully obvious and I've just missed it.

You can press Ctrl+Space to display auto-completion list in SciTE. Also when you type the opening brace, you'll get function parameter hints.

Awesome!  I was pretty sure it wasn't possible, and it turns out all I needed to do was Ctrl+Space.

Not only that I found that you can add your own variables, and stuff, in the wme.api (after backing up the original).  I'm not sure if this is recommended or not, but it's a still a cool feature.

Thanks Mnemonic.  WME is awesome.

Not only that, but thanks for your help.

In my opinion SciTE is the best ready-to-use-thing you can use for IDEs . :) Good Choice, mnem.
