autocomplete - how to add "closers" (e.g. add "endif" when completing "if")

[lee321987]

Hi.

Here's what I'm trying to do in SciTe:

I type "For"

Autocomplete box opens with "For" selected

I hit a hotkey, and the matching "Next" is typed on the next line.

I found a way to do this with "Func", but it only works if I type "Fun" then hit the {SPACE} key. "Fu" {SPACE} doesn't work, nor does "Func" {SPACE}.

Here's what autocomplete types when I type "fun" {SPACE}

Func _()
EndFunc

Id like this for "Do...Until", "While...Wend", ect...

Possible?

Are you talking about the abbreviations option in stead of autocomplete?

When typing fun the text changes to red and then the space will auto expand to whatever is defined in the abbrev.properties file.

I guess I was. I hadn't noticed the red.

Thanks a lot.

Very interesting find, typing "fun" and hitting the space key really does gives a prototype for a function.

here's a stab at it

... works most of the time

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)

HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("{F9}", "ShowMe")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func ShowMe()
    $SciTE = '[CLASS:SciTEWindow]'
    $script = StringToBinary(ControlGetText($SciTE, '', '[CLASS:Scintilla; INSTANCE:1]'), 2)
    $script = BinaryToString($script, 1)
    $Split = StringSplit($script, @CRLF)
    $script = $Split[$Split[0]]

    Switch $script ; Add all the inputs you want here
        Case "Do"
            $stext = "Until"
        Case "While"
            $stext = "Wend"
        Case "Func"
            $stext = "EndFunc"
        Case "For"
            $stext = "Next"
        Case Else
            $stext = ""
    EndSwitch

    If $stext <> "" Then ControlSend("classname=SciTEWindow", "", "[CLASS:Scintilla; INSTANCE:1]", @CRLF & $stext & @CRLF & @CRLF)
EndFunc   ;==>ShowMe

Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc   ;==>Terminate

This is the Abbreviations we (Mhz&I) have setup by adding an extra Lexer keyword, a LUA script and the abbrev.properties file.

Its documented in the SciTE4AutoIt3 helpfile that comes with the full install.

Whoa! I can't believe I missed this. It's beautiful. Thanks.
