[Solved]_magic option for Editor?

[goldenix]

I use consolewrite too often & im really sick of typing it manually. Can I modify a file or somehthing so next time I type cons it will output ConsoleWrite( & @CRLF) instead of just ConsoleWrite ?

How do you call this btw? Fast string output?

EDIT: see post #10 for solution

And nothing happens.

BTW: i tried to do it noob way but guess what, it does not work so im lost now:

Where did autoit script code go?

HotKeySet("!m", "_msbox")

Func _msbox()
    if WinActive(' * SciTE4AutoIt3') Then ControlSend("Untitled", "", "Edit1", "This is a line of text in the notepad window")
EndFunc

;;;; Body of program would go here ;;;;
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd
;;;;;;;;

It does for the rest of us so the error is on your side. Are you using the latest "full version" of SciTE?

If you open au3.ketwords.abbreviations.properties do you not see "cw" in the list?

It's where it has always been?

I think I was using half assed version of 1.77 After installing the latest version cw + space works

But can I create my custom cw commands? for example, I also need a msbox command

Add to your "\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\Properties\abbrev.properties" file.

Add to your "\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\Properties\abbrev.properties" file.

I modified the au3.keywords.abbreviations.properties file & added ms to this line:

cw ms cwe \

Inside abbrev.properties and au3abbrev.properties I added another line

cw=ConsoleWrite(| & @LF)
ms=MsgBox(| 0, '', )

But It wont work for some reason. Did I do something wrong?

It also already exist (mb and mb2).

You can easely see what all these abbrevs to by opening abbrev.properties and search for a func, for example MsgBox. Most native funcs have abbrevs already.

I dont like mb2 so I tried to replace mb=MsgBox(|) with mb=MsgBox(0, '', |) but when I open the editor & type in mb it still outputs mb=MsgBox(|)

I used my search text inside files script & found out that only 3 files contain mb2=

Does this mean that I cant modify existing or add my custom ms= ? I changed all 3 files & still nothing.

On my system the correct file is in my user profile, not under Program Files.

Use "Open Abbreviations File" on the Options menu to get the right one.

I wonder why do programmers like to hide those config files.?

But thanx found it. & also added ms= & it work fine now. many thanx

Godenix,

It is the OS that does that. Vista, for example, will not let apps write to their own folder within 'Program Files', but does complicated trickery within Explorer to make it look as though they have. It is all part of the 'security' package.

I always check whether my app is in 'Program Files' and if it is, I write .inis etc directly to a dediciated folder within the users profile.

Anyway, with SciTE just use the 'Options - Open....' menu to open the relevant file and you will automatically get the right place!
