Side Bar / Document Map in Scite Editor

[Martin_Bauer]

Hi Guys. I was just playing around with Notepad++ and saw this little nifty feature, a Document Map on the side.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get such a minimap inside the Scite IDE? that would be so much help for long Coding projects.

I have heard that Notepad ++ is not that differnt as scite in its core. but i can be wrong.

 

I wish everyone a happy holiday.

It uses the au3lexer I wrote for SciTE many moons ago, which is part of Lexilla/SciLexer, but that version hasn't been update for many years as I haven't shared the changes I've made since 2007.
Other than that, the editors are totally different. The SciTE4AutoIt3 includes SciTEJump, which makes it easy to find/jump to code in the Scriptfile.

That would also sound like a huge help for visibility, but when pressing AltQ i get an error .Might be my fault, as i am using a custom User option file.

Have a look here how that is solved:

Looks like the new version of autoIt made a script breaking change ?!?

The same error is here, as well.

But you can fix it, if you edit the scite jump.au3 :

edit ... looks like it was solved

Nope, One should never use internal defined variables from an Include file as that could cause these type of issues!
It is fixed in the current available Beta version.
