Losing Autocomplete

[Queener]

After I run SciTE Customize to my needs, I notice that I lost the autocomplete to variables that I assign. Any help with that?

Not too much info to go on here.

So, Which version of SciTE are you running? (Help/About SciTE)
What have you Customized?

SciTE Version 3.5.4

I load Black 2 themes from Customized SciTE

Ok, so please explain what you see isn't working exactly as I am not clear what this means.

Normally when you assign the variable for example: $justin. It would show an autocomplete of $justin if you type $j. Instead it shows:

 

[Jos]

Correct, it should do that. What happens when, after you typed the $, you select Edit/Complete Word (Ctrl+Enter)?

sorry for the delay of replying. Was at training the whole 2 week and rarely have time to come back here, but when you type the dollar sign, nothing comes up. Just the tooltip controlID[

That wasn't the whole question!

so you're saying every time I want the auto-completion, I would need to ctrl+Enter? Because thats how it is now.

My only question was whether that is working or not to establish base functionality. So if the answer is yes, then that does mean that the LUA added functionality isn't working.  You SciTE Directory does contain the LUA subdirectory with files in it? 

Please run this script, copy its output into a text file and share that in a post or PM with me so I can see you active properties:

Resolved. Jos spotted a configuration within the Customize tool that disabled the auto-completion in the themes configuration.

 

Just change the 1 on line 120 to 0 and save. All done!
