20-9-2015: New SciTE4AutoIt3 available with the updated SciTE v3.6.0 release.

@Jos I saw the arrows in the intellisence. But tab key is not suppoting for this. I think it is only to show us. Not for select and complete the code. 

[Jos]

How have you done item 2? Was that with autoit3 using the scite director interface?

As to a tutorial for SciTE and Lua: The linked site is quite nice to start and learn some of the options available.

There has never been an autocomplete available as yet in SciTE when it comes to the calltips displayed, and this is a calltip dropdown, not an AutoComplete.

Yes. That tool is using Directory interface. Please look at this link. This is the tool.

https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/167828-a-simple-utility-for-pasting-include-files/

But, it is completely an external program.I don't know how to combine it with SciTE. 

First, i did this without directory interface, But then you gave me some hints about SciTE send command. Then i rewrote the program with SciTE Directory interface. Now it is more faster.

If that is a calltip, then i am requesting for an auto complete feature for that.

@kcvinu Open SciTE, Options -> Open au3.properties

This will open au3.properties, look around line 50, you can add your own program's option there

TheDcoder,

How many times do we have to tell people to make changes to SciTE properties in the "User Options File" so that their changes are not lost on upgrade when the main properties files are replaced?

[TheDcoder]

@Melba23 Missed that

[Jos]

Good luck with that.

@TheDcoder, If you know that, then kindly post a tutorial of it.

[kcvinu]

@Jos , Is that a Yes ?

[TheDcoder]

@kcvinu Glad you that you like my tutorials , unfortunately I don't know the syntax of a properties file

[Jos]

@Jos , Is that a Yes ?

That statement means I am not even going to look at that.
You are asking for a fundamental change here in SciTE, so it won't be done in the version I maintain.

@TheDcoder, If you know that, then kindly post a tutorial of it.

Look at the provided helpfile for the SciTE documentation. 
Should be pretty easy to figure out what the options are.

@Jos Thank you for the clarification. It seems that i need to make another utility for that. 

[TheDcoder]

@kcvinu  I did a search for learning lua scripting language, I got many good results, they should be enough for you to get started

[kcvinu]

@TheDcoder, I know the basics of Lua. But i didn't know anything related Lua + SciTE. That means, where to put your script, how to detect the events like enter key press in SciTE and so on. Do you have any info related to that ?

[Jos]

Maybe you should try to live with a compromise in stead of striving for "your ideal world". I honestly think the way things work now makes coding so much easier and do not see the need for all your ideas really.  

One thing we could look at for your #include idea is updating au3.api with something like this: example to demonstrate what i mean by adding lines 2&3

#include?2
#include<array.au3>?2
#include<date.au3>?2
#include-once?2

@kcvinu From (SciTE ->) Help -> SciTE Help -> SciTE4AutoIt3-Gettingstarted:

If your utility is a compiled AutoIt script or another executable file, enter the following into the SciTEUser.properties file:
# 40 Utility_Name

command.40.$(au3)="$(SciteDefaultHome)\SciTE Utils\Utility.exe"
command.name.40.$(au3)=Utility_Name
command.shortcut.40.*.au3=Ctrl+Alt+Z
command.subsystem.40.$(au3)=2
command.save.before.40.$(au3)=2
command.quiet.40.$(au3)=1

As @Jos suggested, read the SciTE Help file

Correction

[kcvinu]

@Jos , You are the person who taught me that SciTE is just like an edit control. If that is true, then you can detect the keypresses. If user typed "#inc" then you can easily call your function for displaying all include files from AutoItDir. And we can make more interesting things. If you are going to write a gui or control creation function. When you write the code, the time when you write the style parameter, the calltip should vanish and the list of GUI Styles should appear as intellisence. I think we can make SciTE more intelligent. Anyhow, i didn't understand any line of your api code. But i understand one thing, that you will make some better changes in next version of SciTE.
