Updated Scite4AutoIt3 Installset

A new version of the Scite4autoIt3.exe install set with lots of additions/updates is available.
List of major enhancements:

Shift+F1 will bring up a Popup screen showing all AutoIt3 functions and a brief description. Just Double-Click or Enter on the function you need and it will be pasted back into your script.
Ctrl+Shift+F5 - Run Tylo's Au3Check and when no errors/warnings found run AutoIt3.exe.
Alt+F6 - Run Larry's ScriptWriter to record clicks and keystrokes and write this into your Autoit Script.
Ctrl+F6 - Run Larry's AU3_Spy program to detect the Text and Names of controls on the program windows.
Ctrl+Shift+F7 - Run Tylo's Au3Check and when no errors/warnings found run Aut2Exe.exe.

It now defaults to run AutoIt3 with the /ErrorStdOut parameter.
This option is only available in the current 102 unstable version which will soon be released as the new stable version.
If you still want to use it with the 101 build then change it in the au3.properties to this commandline:
command.go.*.au3="$(autoit3dir)\autoit3.exe" "$(FilePath)"

Hit Ctrl+F1 for more help on all included functions.

Enjoy B)

Why bother at all when the HotKey is available CTRL+F1 :D

By the way: Ctrl+Enter is also a very powerfull shortcut... completes what you are typing with anything already in the script....

hmmm... the tools menu still says it's ctrl+shift+b to insert line.

I'm trying to understand bookmarks, and what they'd be handy for, and can't really find much about them in the helpfile...

rather I should say, how helpful is it to paste a bookmarked line?

oh, and I added a few to the list that you have at the beginning of the helpfile. I think from crtl+f11 down.

This is a handy tool as well..

Just mark one or more lines with Ctrl+F2 ..
Then F2 will jump to the marked line from anywhere in the script.
Ctrl+Alt+B will copy all the Marked lines at the place to Cursor is located..

I might want to use scite if I could figure out how to change the font. I know this is easy for someone that is used to it, but could someone point me in the right direction? I want fixedsys 9 with no bold, italics, etc. on my au3.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the answer by removing some things in au3.properties and adding the font I wanted to the global properties.

Just check out the supplied helpfile ...
there is an item called: "Scite Font and syntax highlighting Colors "

In your case you want to add this to the "User Options":
font.monospace=font:fixedsys,size:9

I knew this was going to be confusing but I will try to explain.
The creator of Scite, Niel Hodgson, has decided to remove the "use.monospaced=1" option.
This means that it will always start in the font defined in SciteGlobal and The Options/Use Mono Font option will only have a temporary function.
When you define a MONO space font as default, you have lost the option to switch between MONO and Proportional.

Bruce Dodson, The guy that integrated LUA into Scite, came up with a LUA script that Emulates the old Ctrl+F11 behavior. This is what is integrated now.

Bottom line:
The option: Options/Use Mono Font Ctrl+F11 is now obsolete (But I cannot remove it.
The option: Tools/Override Font Ctrl+F11 is active and will have the same behavior.
I hope this clarifies it.... :)

Edit: fixed typo

Excellent, a few very nice updates there. Not mentioned, but I assume it includes the Keyword changes on Timer?

Quote

[*]Ctrl+Shift+F5 - Run Tylo's Au3Check and when no errors/warnings found run AutoIt3.exe.

I'm not certain who Tylo is, but I'm not certain this tool is that useful. It gives a lot of errors even on a script that is fine (things like UDFs it doesn't like and that kinda thing).

Cheers JdeB for keeping us at the cutting edge!

All keywords are up-to-date to my knowledge, but let me know when I missed one.... ;)

The AU3CHECK is a very useful program from Tylo, since it tests your whole script on the validity of the syntax. AutoIt only reports the problem when the line is executed, which makes it difficult sometime to test all possible scenarios... And it will report 1 error at a time , where AU3Check gives you all syntax issues.

I am not sure what the issue is you have with the #include but it would be best if you post it in the Support forum so Tylo or others can look at it.

Hey, is there any plans to include AutoBuilder ( http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...&hl=autobuilder )??? AutoBuilder is another useful tool and would "complete" this awesome package.

To update your current installation with just the config files for all utils just:

Download scite-update.zip to your Scite Program directory
Unzip ...
