Notepad++ SU8 Ruby API Autocomplete

Dan Rathbun

Is there a way for np++ automatically to add/remove your own module, class, and method names into/from the auto-complition list?

What I was really wishing for... was to be able to load multiple API overlay files.

One for Core Ruby. Then if You wanted to work on a Rails project, you could load a Rails API overlay list.

For a Sketchup example, the Core Ruby API would always load. Then of course we'd need the basic Sketchup API. If we also needed the TT_Lib API, and the WxSU APIs, we could load them also.

NP++ has session files that keep track of all open files in a project, their window sizes, the language they use, where the cursor is, what is hilighted, etc. So keeping an API file list for each file would not be "out of this world."

For a Js example, you could set a Core Js, and overlay say, the JQuery API on top of it.

And it would also be nice to have a "bread-crumb" API bar that would list the loaded APIs for the active file.
There is alot of room on the left side of the statusbar (just after it displays the file language, and before the file length.)

Got any good alternatives?

On OSX there is TextMate, but Windows...?

Looking really good!! So far it got the features I use the most in NP++.

thomthom

Ah! Yes! Code insight! It suggest the methods I have in the current document! sweeeet!

Didn't provide hint for File.exist? - it suggested File, but not exist? ...

You can add your own keywords? Anyone added the SU API to this?

Rich O Brien

found it a few months back and really like it but i don't use it for ruby

And spell checking for comments and strings!!! FTW!!!

Default shortcuts for bookmarks and duplicate line is the same as NP++ ... double-plus-good!!!

Now, where is current-line-highlighting...?

Ditto! It's not freeware - but I have no problem paying for this one.

Wasn't there an old thread where we discussed various editors Komodo, etc. ?

WOW ! I just try it right now and it's impressive work !
It's little bit easier to write a code now !

Notepad++ and Sublime 2 are awesome, but there is no editors similar to RubyMine; Using it forever!
