Anyone created auto-complete for the SketchUp API?

I'd think it might be easy to write a Ruby script, that reads the NP++ XML file, and outputs a Sublime JSON file ??

Was there a complete NP++ made?

Likely not.

But my point would be that both could benefit from one effort.

Nothing to do with the last posts, but I found by using the user preferences


{
	"auto_complete"; false,
	"color_scheme"; "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/iPlastic.tmTheme",
	"dictionary"; "Packages/Language - English/en_GB.dic",
	"font_face"; "Courier new",
	"font_size"; 11.0
}

the display is much easier to read ... in fact similar to NP++

I personally HATE the Courier New font. (It looks so ragged, .. ie unsmooth.)

I LOVE the MS Consolas font.
It was designed specifically for programming. On XP it required that some edition of MS Visual Studio has already been installed, or the font installer would not install it. It may be possible however to open the installer archive with 7zip, etc. and manually install the Consolas font files.

It looks like Windows 7 comes "out-of-the-box" with Consolas already installed.
Supposedly, Vista and MS Office 2007 also came with Consolas.

This website tells how to install Consolas on MAC OSX.

Ditto. Courier was designed to simply mimic the old typewriters. Consolas was designed to be legible on computer screens.

Yep.. and I actually (previously) used to hide my Courier New files. Made copies of the Consolas files, and renamed them Courier, in the " %(#804000)[%SystemRoot%/Fonts]" directory.

Then I found an easier way via the Registry's " %(#0040BF)[FontSubstitutes]" key:

Save as a file somewhere with a " **%(#000000)[.reg]**" extension, say " **%(#000000)[SubConsolasForCourier.reg]**":

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes]
"Courier New"="Consolas"
"Courier New Bold"="Consolas Bold"

Double-click the file, and answer "Yes" when prompted whether you want the file to make changes to the Registry. (Restart the computer to have the changes take effect.)

It may also be possible to change the Hive to %(#0040BF)[HKEY_CURRENT_USER] so that the substitutions only take effect for your user account. (Logoff and log back into your user account to have the changes take effect.)

This makes your machine always substitute Consolas for Courier, in all browsers, in all native dialogs, editors etc.
(The native Notepad.exe looks much better with Consolas!)

I use font DejaVu Sans Mono. Zerro not look like a "O"(Dotted zerro). In Consolas font "l" look like "1"(It's bad)
