So far, with minimum testing, I don’t see any problems. But I look forward to your input.

Thanks, I'll have a look later to see what your change does. 🙂

Props for detecting VSC and allowing it as the default editor! 

Right...  but not sure what you expect next after this elaborate info?
One stab-in-the-dark: Did you ever manually fixed the Open-With setting?  You can check this in SciTEConfig/Other Tools/Run AutoIt3/SciTE check

Good morning Jos,

I did some tinkering with your indenter, and came up with the following. I fixed a couple typo’s, and added a couple of extra checks, etc. I didn’t mark the changes, I’m supposing you can do a comparison? But if you want, I can mark them and repost. So far, this seems to work good? If “\n” is enabled for auto-complete with enter, it was still breaking the positioning of the cursor. So to fix that, I had to do the following modification to AutoItAutoComplete.lua, line 718, after

AutoItIndentFix:OnUpdateUI()

Add the following:

-- Update to new indented position.

ncarretpos = editor.SelectionNCaret[editor.MainSelection]

So far, with minimum testing, I don’t see any problems. But I look forward to your input.

Best regards,

Thanks for the extensive update of the AutoItIndentFix.lua! I have merged your changes into my version and had a quick play, which looks good.
Also did the update in AutoItAutoComplete.lua .
They will be part of the next upload unless any issues are found.

Cheers Jos

No problem Jos. Glad to be able to hopefully repay you a bit for all your work you've done on this.

I look forward to hearing further on any of your findings.

Best regards.

I think they are saying thanks/kudos on allowing VSC to be the default editor in the install?

Props can mean compliment / respect / credit,

So that means I am really getting too old for all of this.    
Sorry @rcmaehl for not staying up-to-date on the "street lingo".

😂

Don't feel bad Jos, I had to google what it meant too

I've heard it used a few times before though.

Hi Jos,

A small update. The indenter is adding indents inside of #Regions, I fixed this by changing line 216 from

elseif Curr_firstword == "" and Curr_lastword == "" and Parent_line ~= -1 then

To

elseif Curr_firstword == "" and Curr_lastword == "" and Parent_line ~= -1 and
                string.find(',if,do,while,with,for,select,switch,func,volatile,', ',' .. fold_firstword .. ',', nil, true) ~= nil then

Sorry for the oversight.

It's no problem. I'm starting to fall behind with street lingo myself. Kids these days with their "sigmas" and "mewing" and such
