RF Script Editor Update (SciTE 1.74)

Post by QuestOfDreams » Sat Oct 27, 2007 4:46 am

The RF Script Editor tool which is based on the SciTE editor (http://www.scintilla.org/) has been updated to version 1.74. This update has improved syntax highlighting and supports autocompletion and calltips for all high and low level pawn script commands. As an extra eye candy the default toolbar buttons have been replaced with icons from the tango icon set (http://tango.freedesktop.org/).

http://www.realityfactory.info/cms/inde ... &Itemid=11

The color scheme of the sxntax highlighting now mimics that of MS Visual Studio C++. Keywords that did not belong to the Simkin language (but rather to c/c++) have been removed for a proper representation of the language. A monospace font is now used by default for all text.
A major improvement is the autocompletion of high and low level pawn script functions (Complete Symbol Ctrl+I). Calltips will be displayed for these functions as well when typing a left parenthesis (.
There are also some abbreviations defined for frequently used phrases (press Ctrl+B to expand):

Code: Select all

b =>
break;

c =>
case
{
}

d =>
default
{
    
}

e =>
else
{
    
}

f =>
for i=0 to  step 1
{
}

for e =>
for each item in 
{
}

i =>
if()
{
}

r =>
return;

s =>
switch()
{
}

w =>
while()
{
}

[ =>
[()
{
    
}]
