@Jos I just notice that typing this second line

@ScriptLineNumber
@scriptlin

code does not shows me any hint because I used lower case instead proper case.
As far as I remember it didn't work like that.

Did I miss something ?

 

 

[TimRude]

@mLipok It works on my system.

Check to make sure that in your au3.properties file you have

autocomplete.au3.ignorecase=1

and that in your SciTEUser.properties file you do not have

autocomplete.au3.ignorecase=0

 

[mLipok]

In both files I have: autocomplete.au3.ignorecase=1

btw.

_arraydele

works fine

[mLipok]

Oops. My oversight. Recent update fixes this issue.

Yep, this was a bug in the latest base SciTE code which was fixed after reporting it.

Please give them a try when you want and report issues. 
There is also an fix for a reported issue with proper.case also changing text in Comment-blocks and other styles where it shouldn't be doing that.

This is the History for this version, which sort of covers the major changes since 16-03-2021:

Does this version not support locale.properties files?

Just tried and that works fine here when I override one of the colors of the lexer. What is it that doesn't work for you?
PS: I do assume you mean SciTE.properties in the same directory as the file you work on.

Hey @Jos how is called the new feature which shows the changed content which I'm typing.

I'm sorry! It was my mistake!

Change history. These are the settings: 

Quote

change.history marker.reverted.to.origin marker.saved marker.modified marker.reverted.to.modified indicator.reverted.to.origin.insertion indicator.reverted.to.origin.deletion indicator.saved.insertion indicator.saved.deletion indicator.modified.insertion indicator.modified.deletion indicator.reverted.to.modified.insertion indicator.reverted.to.modified.deletion

The change.history property controls whether changes to the document (insertions, deletions, saved chanes, ...) are shown as margin markers or indicators within text. It is a set of bit flags (1=enable, 2=margin markers, 4=indicators in text) so the most likely settings are 0=disabled; 3=enabled with margin marks, or 7=enabled with margin markers and in-text indicators. There is a default set of visuals for this feature but they may be altered with the marker.* and indicator.* properties. As change history can only be enabled when the file is in its original state, this property only takes effect when a file is loaded.

which I have defaulted to these in SciTEGlobal.properties:

change.history=7
indicator.saved.insertion=style:Hidden
indicator.saved.deletion=style:Hidden
#~ change.history=3
#~ indicator.reverted.to.origin.insertion=style:squiggle,colour:#40A0BF
#~ indicator.reverted.to.origin.deletion=style:point,colour:#40A0BF
#~ indicator.saved.insertion=style:squiggle,colour:#60A060
#~ indicator.saved.deletion=style:point,colour:#00A000
#~ indicator.modified.insertion=style:squiggle,colour:#A0A060
#~ indicator.modified.deletion=style:point,colour:#A0A000
#~ indicator.reverted.to.modified.insertion=style:squiggle,colour:#FF8000
#~ indicator.reverted.to.modified.deletion=style:point,colour:#FF8000
#~ marker.reverted.to.origin=style:leftrect,fore:#40A0BF,back:#40A0BF
#~ marker.saved=style:leftrect,fore:#00A000,back:#00A000
#~ marker.modified=style:leftrect,fore:#A0A000,back:#A0A000
#~ marker.reverted.to.modified=style:leftrect,fore:#FF8000,back:#FF8000

I noticed that the SciTE4AutoIt3 helpfile didn't contain the latest SciTE Docs so updated that in the Installer & Zip file. Version remained the same.
Also changed default change.history from 5 to 7 to also show the change markers at the left side, right from the linenumbers.

Thanks.

I've tested to beta installer and am happy to report that no issues were encountered. Thanks for the continued support, Jos.

Working well for me. But is there a setting to disable underlining of function names? Just a personal preference...

[Jos]

Check out the au3.properties for the used settings and copy this one to your sciteuser.properties and change the settings:

#CurrentFile UDF's
style.au3.17=$(style.au3.16),underlined

.. or simply use SciTEConfig to update your preferences!

Does anyone know whether there is any benefit to work with the x64 version of SciTE compared with the current x86 I distribute?
Speed maybe? if so: How much & is it worth the effort involved to distribute both the x86 & x64 version?
