Updated the initial post with a link to the latest updated SciTE4AutoIt3 beta installer and portable zip file. These contain all the current/latest versions so no need for other stuff after the update. Don't forget to make a Backup first to ensure there is an easy rollback in case of issues.

I would think the short name should be at the top, no? Though I don't know if it can be improved, since lua does the sorting?

I will have a look, but sorting is not as straightforward as simply sorting an array: the logic adds an key in front of the keyword to determine the priority depending on the start position of the found typed string in the keyword.     

[Jos]

I need to test a bit more but you could test the change  I think is the reason for this by replacing line 821 in AutoItAutoComplete.lua with:

table.insert(tStartKeywords, ddsort .. ' ~#~' .. ddentry)

... adding a space before the tiled sign forcing the ddsort keyword to end with an space for proper sorting.

Thanks Jos, I'll give it a shot and get back to you.

One other question, more related to, I think, Neil's side of things? In trying out the new right click menu option to drop a selection, I notice upon right clicking all selections are lost. Am I missing a key combination? Or is this a bug?

New option ?  .....   or do you the below new option which is in version Scintilla 5.4.1 and thus not yet in my version?:

• Ctrl-click on a selection deselects it in multiple selection mode.

Ok...  is see which option you refer to. No idea why that works the way it does as it simply seems to deselect at pressing RightMouse.

Ya, exactly. Kind of odd.

Hi again Jos,

I found another strange indent behaviour.

If  you click after "UBound($asFonts) - 1" and push enter once, then right away press ";" to insert a comment, it inserts another line break after the semicolon.

Local $asFonts[0]
Local $bTest

For $i = 0 To UBound($asFonts) - 1
$bTest = False
Next

 

Local $asFonts[0]
Local $bTest

For $i = 0 To UBound($asFonts) - 1
;

$bTest = False
Next

That whole Ident-fix routine is still on my todo list to fix/review/rewrite....

[donnyh13]

Okay, thanks. Wasn't sure if this was one of those indent problems you wanted reported or not.

[Jos]

It's good to report these quirks so I can check them, but just to have a period of time to sit down a go over this whole indent function.

[donnyh13]

Hi Jos, I’ve been playing with your indentation script some, and I found, in my eyes, a partial fix for my just reported issue. When running indentation on any "For", "While", etc. lines the indenter was placing the caret half way through the tab mark, i.e. the end of the tab should be position 3114, it places it in position 3112. The reason for this was this part

(currindentpos - previndentpos)

on Line 78 (My lines might be off -- Added several print statements)

editor.SelectionNCaret[editor.MainSelection] = editor.SelectionNCaret[editor.MainSelection] + (currindentpos - previndentpos)

returns a -1 on For, While, etc lines, but a 0 on regular lines. But I "fixed" this by switching that last portion around,

(previndentpos - currindentpos)

and changed line 78 to:

editor.SelectionNCaret[editor.MainSelection] = editor.SelectionNCaret[editor.MainSelection] + (previndentpos - currindentpos)

I’ve tried it in a few places and it seems to work well now (for "If", "While", "For",) and for regularly indented stuff. But it still fails on unindented "While", "For" etc. lines. I haven’t had time yet to test why this is, but maybe this will help some? It did seem to improve the functionality, I think. Don't have time to keep testing right now.

I think the issue starts with setting previndentpos to the indent of the wrong line. The Caret position seems to be set between the CR & LF as it doesn't display it at all and adds that extra new line when you start typing. 

 

[donnyh13]

Right. That makes sense.

[donnyh13]

Changing

editor.SelectionNCaret[editor.MainSelection] = editor.SelectionNCaret[editor.MainSelection] + (currindentpos - previndentpos)

To

editor.SelectionNCaret[editor.MainSelection] = editor:FindColumn(line, previndent)

Fixes most of the troubles, but it still doesn’t work when auto-completeing with autocomplete.au3.on.enter= set to \n

Maybe I'll leave it to the professional.

Hi Jos, hope you are well,
It was frustrating me why the above fix wasn’t working completely, so I took another look at the indenting script, and figured out why it doesn’t work when autocomplete.au3.on.enter=\n is set. In the AutoItAutoComplete.lua, where it manually calls the Indenter (AutoItIndentFix:OnUpdateUI()), ncarretpos wasn’t being updated after fixing the indents, therefore it was losing the new indent position. So at about line 700, I added the following to AutoItAutoComplete.lua:

AutoItIndentFix:OnUpdateUI()
                        ncarretpos = editor.SelectionNCaret[editor.MainSelection]--+

Everything now works great, as best as I can tell.

I made one other addition to the AutoItIndentFix.lua. It was annoying me, that when I press enter on a blank line (with indentation removed after a save), that the indenter wasn’t recognizing there needed to sometimes be an indent added, so I changed line 84 (approximately) from:

previndent = editor.LineIndentation[line - 1]

To:

previndent = 0
                for j = line - 1, 0, -1 do
                    if editor:LineLength(j) > 2 then
                        previndent = editor.LineIndentation[j]
                        break  
                    end
                end

It now searches for the last non-empty line to get the indent value from instead.

Thought I would pass this along in case it gives you any ideas/help.

[Jos]

I will take a look at this when I have the urge to pick up that function again and do some real re-coding.

I think the Tools -> Trace: Add Trace Lines tool is broken.

when using it on the code above, it produces this for me and stops inserting trace lines:

EDIT: This probably only happens if you set wrap=1 in scite.properties as it works properly if I zoom out all the way.. so for now a workaround is to disable line wrapping in scite!
