Works great Jos! Thank you very much for your hard work.

And I see what you mean, making AutoComplete work for multiple lines looks complex!

[donnyh13]

I was wondering one thing. If I freshly open scite, open a larger script, (7,000 lines), and press enter, the CRLF is instantly "written". However as soon  as I have pressed save, when I press enter, the insertion of a CRLF is more delayed. To make it instant again I have to reopen Scite, reopening the script alone wont change it. What I'm wondering is if there is something "activated" once save is pressed that would cause this? My guess would be the "saved" and "unsaved" changes markings?? This isn't noticeable in small scripts.

@Jos I start working with @donnyh13 UDF 

I have turned on some debuging stuff.

What I notice that when I type function names then for each key which I press the function lua do the their stuff int the background.

So I'm starting to wonder if the LUA function might not work until I write and take a break, e.g. 1 sec.
This would prevent LUA functions from being redundantly called multiple times in the background.

I'll have a check to what the reason could be.

So you want the drop-down not to update while hitting keys untill there is no key hit for 1sec? The issue is that the lua scripts are fired on each event and when you don't type, there is no event.

At this moment yes, but of course the 1 sec delay should be easy to change for example to 0.5 sec or even 0.2 sec this need to be tested which value will fit best to user typing speed or other requirements.

exactly.

[Jos]

by the way: why does it take so much longer for you than on my laptop?:

Still working on a USB drive?
Do you have Local Cache active?

yes.
I just did test at work I have new Dell with CPU i5-12400 
on Z drive (USB) and my C drive (NVME) 
On both C and Z drive I have 0.15 sec

Previous test I did on my laptop with i5-8XXX on the same Z drive

Not sure how to check ?

 

to be sure we had the same testing route: I use LibreOfficeWriter.au3 which contains 45841 lines of code.

mmm  ...   maybe that should be split into logical (udf) files as 46000 lines sounds quit big !

is that mean that in this particular case:

working with 46k lines UDF it is parsed on the fly,

and working with examples the cached values are taking for the UDF function names and UDF is not processed on the fly, thus such differences in the speed.

I mean that my question is:
Do any currently edited file is parsed on the fly and not from cache ?

[Jos]

Makes total sense!
What happens is that when you type a character, the LUA will load the previously found UDFs/Vars tables and then scan the current file for all existing UDFs/Vars.
That last bit is taking more time when the current file is a BIG ASS LARGER SCRIPT!  

This has to happen as changes could have been made during editing ....right?

Edited September 25, 2023 by Jos

[mLipok]

Can you add feature that also currently edited file will be parsed from CACHE by adding directive (for currently processed file) or settings in SciTEUser.properties (for entire SciTE)

I know that this will force user to save file before changes will be taken.

But I think this can be game changer for such big UDF's  or big any other "Main Script".

In some sense yes,

My point is:

When making changes, you must save the changes to use them.
Only saved changes should be taken into account.
From this we can say that we can start using CACHE in this case as well.

 

I don't see a situation where someone creates 30 new functions and immediately uses them without saving.

If I have created 1 function and I use it, I have it in memory or on the screen.
If this function is in a separate UDF, I still have to save it to use them in main script.
If the function is a large main file, I believe that the place of the function is the UDF, not the main program file.

If it is a small program file, I still say that we basically have three cases (maybe more):

1. the file is small and I know what and where I just changed it, so I don't have to remember the name of the function.

2. the function is visible on the screen or not, but I can always jump to it and see it

3. after modifying the function, I should save the file to get the desired effect

[Jos]

Ok, i have played a bit with the update of the local file and made the following changes:

• Added the following option which will determine whether the current file is scanned of each character typed (current Default is not to scan but that could change back to the old behavior): 
  Directive: #SciTE4AutoIt3_Dynamic_Include_Always_Update_Local_File=n
  Property: dynamic.include.always.update.local.file=n/y
• Re-enabled the logfile message to the console when debugging is on/off
• uploaded also the au3.autoit3wrapper.api & autoit3wrapper.keywords.properties with the added directive.

I am not sure what happens here, but it is expected that there is a small delay when Enter is pressed as a check is done for that line to see if any #include needs to be added.
I have done some testing with your big script and didn't see any difference between the initial Enter and after a Save.

[mLipok]

tested with:

#SciTE4AutoIt3_Dynamic_Include_Always_Update_Local_File=n

and

#SciTE4AutoIt3_Dynamic_Include_Always_Update_Local_File=y

found issue I copied only properties and forget lua files.

now works fine

sorry for confusion
