BETA: SciTE v5x & lua Dynamic_include and "Smart" AutoComplete for Vars/UDFs/Abbrevs

[mLipok]

There is also other issue.
using:
https://github.com/Danp2/au3WebDriver

1. open wd_helper.au3
2. find any __WD_Error(
3. try to jump into  __WD_Error()
    

In console you will see:

Quote

 -> cursor not on a Variable or UDF.

It should jump to the coresponding line in wd_core.au3 file

https://github.com/Danp2/au3WebDriver/blob/860eeb4e6a451465aeba7664686fe3adcbb803d8/wd_core.au3#L1656

 

For this reason I would like to add something like this:

#SciTE4AutoIt3_AutoItAutocomplete_Internal=__WD_*

 

to all of this files:
https://github.com/Danp2/au3WebDriver/blob/master/wd_cdp.au3
https://github.com/Danp2/au3WebDriver/blob/master/wd_capabilities.au3
https://github.com/Danp2/au3WebDriver/blob/master/wd_helper.au3

Hi Jos,

I'm not sure if this is something you can fix, or if it is an internal issue with Scite. But I noticed undoing a backspace action that was performed with multiple selections undoes the last move one line at a time (per press of ctrl+z), instead of undoing the last action for all the selections at once.

I only see that behavior when the multiselect was disabled and needed to reselect the multicarret locations. Anything before will then be a single removal on Ctrl+z
So what was the exact sequence for the shown images?

@JosHave you tried or even considered any tweaks?

[Jos]

I haven't looked at that yet so there is nothing to consider yet.

The starting point is that any UDF starting with 2  underscores is considered an internal UDF and will not be colored/recognised unless it exists in the same file.
This means that the FAST search using the tables will work in wdcore.au3, but not in any other file, even when there is an include.
Having said that, I agree it should then try to old "long route" which opens the current included files and check for the UDF, which indeed wasn't working correctly.
That last part is fixed in the latest version included in the ZIP.

In the Images, I have previously (for demonstration), typed abcd using MultiSelect, then backspaced "D" and "C", using Multiselect. I then pressed "Ctrl+z", which loses my multiselect, and undoes only one backspacing of "c".

Very tricky Jos!

I have another question.

For Call tips, is there a way to word wrap them if they extend too far (in my case off of the screen)? I tried inserting a "_" continuation in the params, but CallTips doesn't recognize those, and just joins it anyway.

I have the impression that the ctrl+z behavior is buildin as there is no check for that anywhere in the scripts.

As to your second question: didn't you ask that before and also posted it on the official SciTE group?

Okay. Thanks for checking. That's what I thought too, as I couldn't find you doing anything with backspace other than in one spot. (For Includes I think)

Maybe? I don't remember asking that before here. And no, I have never posted on the official Scite group before.

Guess it must have been that other "SciTE Beta Tester we have around here" that asked it.

Correct... and just found the name in a PM with the question about the max length from him. .... so memory was correct, just to wrong name associated with it .  🤔wonder why that is...  

but the answer could be that you will have the re-write all API files and adapt the length of the text appearing on the second line.
A process I believe could be to perform these steps :

• Read all current API files.
• Determine the correct max length for the text, insert the \n and write it to a new file.
• Update the settings to use only this one api file.

Some of it is already there in the current dynamic stuff ....

Because we've harassed you for the past several months? 😳

Okay. Thank you.

Are the API files rewritten per Scite opening? Or per tab switch?

Could also do a general max length, and have a user setting to adjust it. But that could be a pain with various window positioning.

The standard supplied api files stay as they are, but are read at the start to determine the delta with everything found. All other found usfs are saved in different apu files dynamically by the lua code.

No worries,  I appreciate the feedback from you all as that is part of the motivation to keep pushing this to a real production version one day! So thanks for the "harassing".

And I assume also Scite is pre-coded (by you?) to look for and read these files directly, correct? Or is there a inbetween process so Scite gets the User UDF call tip info.

[Jos]

Standard SciTE functionality is that the files defined in au3.properties for the *.au3  extension are read:

# List of all AutoComplete API files used
api.$(au3)=$(SciteDefaultHome)\api\au3.api;$(SciteDefaultHome)\api\au3.autoit3wrapper.api;$(SciteUserHome)\au3.std.dynamic.calltips.api;$(SciteUserHome)\au3.file.dynamic.calltips.api;$(SciteUserHome)\au3.usr.dynamic.calltips.api;$(SciteUserHome)\au3.user.calltips.api

# List of all AutoComplete API files used
api.$(au3)=
$(SciteDefaultHome)\api\au3.api;                ### Is installed/updated by the AutoIt3 Installer with the standard UDF's, directives, functions
$(SciteDefaultHome)\api\au3.autoit3wrapper.api; ### Is installed/updated by the SciTE4AutoIt3 Installer with the SciTE Directives
$(SciteUserHome)\au3.std.dynamic.calltips.api;  ### Dynamic process generated
$(SciteUserHome)\au3.file.dynamic.calltips.api; ### Dynamic process generated
$(SciteUserHome)\au3.usr.dynamic.calltips.api;  ### Dynamic process generated
$(SciteUserHome)\au3.user.calltips.api          ### Hardcoded User Calltips as defined in the Helpfile, SciTEConfig addon.

So the process would have to override this setting to point to another file which is created as previously defined, so SciTE will only look at that.

No problem. Thanks for your amazing additions, and problem solving. This is turning out great!
