Spiff59 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) I'd like to see the usefullness of SciTE's ALT-L add-on enhanced. I find in a large script it's a real pain-in-the-butt to have to scroll through all the code when you need to go make an adjustment to some paragraph. When I ran across the ALT-L command, I thought I'd found my shortcut. Well, in a script with 80 functions, I have to scroll almost as long through the puny listbox that ALT-L displays as the code itself. I think ALT-L would be much more useful were the function list to be right-justified on the screen and default to extending the entire height of the client area. Put as many function names on the screen as possible with one click, rather than a list that only displays about 4 functions at a time, and requires tons of scrolling. Thank you for your time.

Developers Jos Posted May 7, 2010 Developers Share Posted May 7, 2010 Just curious: How/when are you using this Ctrl-L option? As to the listbox shown: We use that standard LUA editor:UserListShow() function and don't think we can change a lot there.

Moderators Melba23 Posted May 7, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 7, 2010 Spiff59, Once you have the function list window open, you can enlarge it with the mouse, but you have to do it each time - it does not remember its last size.

Spiff59 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) Just curious: How/when are you using this Ctrl-L option?Well, for instance, say I'm in some function 500 lines into my script and make a change that I know will require a tweak to some other subroutine another 1000 lines into the script. Scrolling through page-after-page of code looking for the function header of the target paragraph is a pain. So, I've tried using ALT-L to allow me to simply display the function name I'm after, click on it, and it'll jump me to the desired code. It's just that the listbox displayed by ALT-L is a chore itself due to it not listing more than a few functions at once.typo Edited May 7, 2010 by Spiff59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
