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

[donnyh13]

Hi again Jos,

Is line 433 necessary in AU3 wrapper?

FileWriteLine("testwatcher.log",$IPCdata)

It's leaving that log in my script directory.

I'd change it to:
If $Debug Then FileWriteLine("testwatcher.log",$IPCdata)
I'll guess that it's a debug thing while coding it.

Thanks @argumentum

Nah ...that needs to be removed again ...   needed that for some debugging.  

Updated Beta.    Thanks

My Bluetooth MX ho my god is so good keyboard,  does not have the break key 

You can trigger a Break on this keyboard by pressing Fn+B. I changed my Lock key so that it performs a Break instead, so now I can press Ctrl+Lock to perform a Ctrl+Break.

Morning Jos,

Just noticed Macros don't AutoComplete for more than one selection also.

Thanks for your continued work.

Hi again Jos, not sure if you are done working in the autocomplete for multiple selections fix or not, but I hit a few hiccups.

When auto completing a Macro (@error) for multiple selections, the selections are lost, except the main cursor.

When the Auto Indenter does its thing, the multiple selections are lost also, such as after entering "Case" and pressing enter to go down a line. (This one may be too complex to fix? It's not a big deal.)

Thanks again!

remember we touched this before...

Right, but you said,

EDIT: The @macro part is using the standard SciTE behavior, hence the issue. I will add the property (autocomplete.multi=0 / 1) to set the behavior as defined for LUA which then fixes the Macro part: 

int editor.AutoCMulti -- Change the effect of autocompleting when there are multiple selections.

And then you said,

Quote

Next version of SciTE will be out soon (SciTE 5.3.9) with:
 

Quote

• Add "Drop Selection" to the context menu to deselect one piece of a multiple selection.
• Add autocomplete.multi property to insert the autocompletion choice in all selections.
• For Windows, fix problem where tab bar disappeared. Bug #2347.
• For Windows, set the file extension of a new file to the one shown in the "save as" file type when save.filter is set.

They were both pretty minor changes and Neil was willing to put them both in.

So, I guess I assumed the Macro part was supposed to be fixed after you updated to 5.4.0? I assume I'm misunderstanding something?

 

I also have a question regarding the Scite help file. The "Scintilla Documentation" (not "Scite Documentation") file isn't listed in the contents anywhere (that I can see), but is found in a search, is there a way to make it visible in contents?

Try setting the default you want for:

autocomplete.multi

and see if that fixes it as i believe i haven't changed the default and am not sure i should. (Not at a computer right now so can't check)

Will check when back at my computer.

Just made a few changes to the SciTE4AutoIt3 helpfile TOC to show both SciTE & Scintilla Documentation and History pages.

Not sure if it's just my problem, or not, but when attempting to use the new help file, I only get this page no matter what:

[argumentum]

...I just now download it without any problems.

Edit: you may need to try with another browser or "safety" settings.

Edited December 8, 2023 by argumentum

[Jos]

Right-mouse-click the helpfile then there should be an option to allow the content?

Sorry, I'm kind of confused by all that needs to be updated, and there's way too much going on this thread for me to keep up. Do I need to install the SciteForAutoit3.exe?

Also, I think the link to the zip file in the 1st post is dead.

Agree...  Merry Christmas and more somewhere next year on all of this.

 

[jaberwacky]

Merry Christmas to you too!

Not sure if Jos answered you elsewhere, but, as best as I can remember, to be totally up to date on the beta (Hopefully not missing anything here) you would download/ install:

• SciTE4AutoIt3.exe
• SciTEx86.zip or SciTEx64.zip (and place/overwrite the older one in the C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE folder)
• SciTE_changes_Dynamic_Includes_LUA.zip (and place/overwrite the older ones in the C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE\lua folder).
• SciTE4AutoIt3.chm (and place/overwrite the older one in the C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\SciTE folder) (And right click on it and click trust, or "allow")
