Re: Script Editor Autocomplete Optional?

Monte Respond to your previous "disheartened" don't be! Just downloaded 9.0.0 DP9 For all the gorilla dust around this new feature which I had not actually see yet, I was wondering.. But now, wow this is awesome! How often to I set an itemdelimiter? sheesh "like all the time" and auto

Re: Script Editor Autocomplete Optional?

Having just read the blog post, which I didn't know existed until I saw the reference here, I may use autocomplete more than I thought. I didn't know it did all that stuff. Apologies, Monte. I'd still like the separate pane for when I'm not actively coding, but this does look pretty cool. I'm

Re: Script Editor Autocomplete Optional?

I agree that it will also be nice if more people use it because it will encourage more verbose, easier to read syntax use. Now...can we get code folding and block marking? Can we? Can we? PLEEEASE? On Fri, Sep 15, 2017 at 11:13 AM, prothero--- via use-livecode <

Don’t be disheartened! I agree with Jacque that while I might not want to have it running all the time, there would be times where it would be very useful. Being able to switch it off would be good… but being able to switch it ON will be good too! -- Scott Morrow Elementary Software (Now

Re: Script Editor Autocomplete Optional?

Question from the blog post ( https://livecode.com/new-autocomplete-live-errors-in-livecode-8-2/) In the snippet manager, you only define the name:type pair once, the first time that it is used, in the examples. Other places in the script, you only list the name. Does the name:type line have to

Re: Script Editor Autocomplete Optional?

Don't feel bad, the requests for autocomplete have been constant over the years and I think far more people will want it than not. For myself, I'm at the far end of minimalism, I don't even use script colorization. Anything that distracts my eye gets turned off. I had the same problem with the

Well regardless of what anyone else says I love the auto-complete feature of GLX2, so I'm all for it so long as it doesn't as some have said make you work harder to uncorrect things, but that is just a matter of ironing things out, much like we all do daily with our own code. Bob S > On Sep

Maybe a little more nuanced control over it would be nice, but turning it on/off is a start. For example, I'd like to be able to use a shortcut to use it when I want it - perhaps option-tab or something similar. On Thu, Sep 14, 2017 at 2:19 AM, Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode <

Yes, I suppose it may be a little disheartening, but, however clever autocompletion may be, it will not suit all people. The fact that Autocomplete has been implemented is a great enhancement, and my request to turn it off was NOT meant as some sort of denigration of it. In fact, I am quite
