autocomplete / predict scripting

[awgsknite]

I dunno if this has been mentioned b4 here in the forums but I could not find it. So....

 

Autocomplete / predict scripting within the LE editor would come in handy. Then I wouldn't have to keep typing the same line over and over when the end part of code is a bit different. I seen many engines with autocomplete / prediction in their scripting editors. Like say im going to type in context and then immediately the prediction scripting suggests in a dropdown option from where you are typing of predictions and one being:.. ( " some text " ) or ( text height x text width ) etc.. that sort of thing. It saves time and would be helpful. I dunno how hard it would be to include that in the editor but it sure would make it easier to make scripts

Like the autocomplete the java editor eclipse has, which is awesome.

Here is a snippets file i made sometime for Sublime Text.

 

I am pretty sure i had a more complete file but i guess i lost it when i had to reinstall my pc after i tried linux. maybe i can find it though. will have a look for it.

@beo6 I'm an LE noob so idunno what Sublime Text is. What is it and how do I use it ?

Sublime Text doesn't have anything to do with LE directly. It's simply an amazing text editor, which you could use to edit your scripts instead of the one from LE:

There is a fully functional and time-unlimited demo available from their website.
