AdamUL Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) When I type the following abbreviations in SciTE, it does the following: ifthen : Will not expand the abbreviation by pressing the space bar or using ctrl+b due to it automatically capitalizing the "i" in if.ifelse : Will capitalize the "i" in if causing only the last 2 characters "se" to expand making it "IfelSetError()".ifelseif : Will not expand the abbreviation by pressing the space bar or using ctrl+b due to it automatically capitalizing the "i" in if.dountil : Will not expand the abbreviation by pressing the space bar or using ctrl+b due to it automatically capitalizing the "d" in Do.whilewend : Will not expand the abbreviation by pressing the space bar or using ctrl+b due to it automatically capitalizing the "w" in while.selectcase : Will capitalize the "s" in select causing only the last 2 characters "se" to expand making it "SelectcaSetError()".switchcase : Will capitalize the "s" in switch causing only the last 2 characters "se" to expand making it "SwitchcaSetError()".These are all that I have found as of now, but there could be more. It seems due to SciTE making the first letter capitalized when if recognizes that it is a keyword, but does not make it letter lower case again after the typed word is not a keyword as you continue to type. I have created a ticket for this.AdamEdit: Updated post title to solved. Edited June 10, 2010 by AdamUL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted June 10, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 10, 2010 AdamUL,Are you sure you are using the same SciTE as the rest of us? All those abbreviations work (and always have worked) for me - SciTE does NOT capitalise the first letter and they expand as you would expect.M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamUL Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 I have the most recent downloaded version.From the About SciTE dialog box: SciTEVersion 1.79 Jul 16 2009 18:30:31by Neil Hodgson. Updated: Valik & JosFrom History in the help file--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2/28/2010*** Updated AutoIt3Wrapper_Gui/AutoIt3Wrapper v2.0.1.24 (Jos)- Made changes to support installation that didn't use installer- Fixed autocomplete for #autoit3wrapper directives by adding au3.autoit3wrapper.api file and updating au3.properties------------------------------------------------------------------------I have download the latest version again and reinstalled, but it is still doing the same thing. This is a standard installation using the installer. On my machine, it does capitalize the first letter of the word if the typed word is an AutoIT Keyword. The capitalization occurs not when the first letter is typed, but it is change to a capital letter as you complete the part of the abbreviation that is the same as an AutoIT keyword. I do not know what would be causing it, if it was not something in SciTE. If you continue to type it will not revert the capitalized letter back to lowercase that was first typed since the word is not a keyword anymore. The abbreviation will not expand if it is not all lower case. If I go back and manually change the capitalized letter and then go back to the end of the abbreviation and type space, or ctrl+b, it will then expand. Just testing again without using abbreviations. When you type an AutoIT Keyword it will capitalize the first letter as you finishing typing the word. Here is an example to try. Type this all on one line to see the effect: if then else. When I type "if", as soon as I type "f", the "i" is capitalized. For "then", as soon as I type "n", the "t" is capitalized. For "else", as soon as I type the second "e", the first "e" is capitalized. This is nice if you are just writing code, but if you want to use abbreviations starting with AutoIT Keywords, it does not help at all.

Moderators Melba23 Posted June 10, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 10, 2010 AdamUL,Does not uppercase for me - fortunately! However, perhaps you have different settings - SciTE has enough of them! Open SciTE and using the <Options> menu, select <Open au3.properties>. Around line 20 in that file there should be a couple of lines like this:#define the activation of the ProperCase function using au3.api. 0=no change, 1=Propercase functions and keywords proper.case=0Mine is set to 0 - is yours?M23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamUL Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Melba23,My au3.properties shows proper.case=0, but I started searching other properties files for that string. I found proper.case=1 in the SciTEUser.properties file. I then checked SciTE Config for AutoIt3 utility, since it edits that file, and sure enough "Auto Propercase Function and Keywords" was checked. Unchecked it and everything is working as expected. I must of checked that box recently, and forgot about it. I now know not to have the "Auto Propercase Function and Keywords" checked and try using abbreviations with AutoIt Keywords. I don't change settings in SciTE that much, only increasing the number of buffers, so I had no idea what to look for and where to look. I will update the bug ticket, since I still believe that it is a bug since "proper.case=1" and abbreviations with AutoIT Keyword are incompatible, but not documented. Thanks for the help,Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted June 10, 2010 Moderators Share Posted June 10, 2010 AdamUL,Glad we found the solution. Like I said, SciTE has too many options sometimes!

AdamUL Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 Jos has fixed this bug by updating the AutoItTools.lua script file to wait to proper case the keyword until after a space is typed. From the testing that I have done, it is working as expected with abbreviations. You will just need to replace the current AutoItTools.lua in the C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\LUA folder with the new one to correct this issue. Thanks Jos for finding a solution to this problem. Auto proper case is a nice feature as well as using abbreviations, and being about to use them together without issue is very nice. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
