Completion has some problems

[koke2c95]

I use many many editors，unfortunately there is no effect I want :(
So I found this . Is awesome, assembly is fully been rendered, This makes it not look like a pile of junk :)

However, this has the bug. that it will complete your input ,no matter what if enter or blank, caused unwanted content.

assembly some did not render

You can adjust auto complete function via menu Settings | Auto complete | ...

[koke2c95]

@mahotilo here is my setting

[mahotilo]

Can you exactly describe situation that annoy you? E.g., I found "Close Braces" auto complete totally uncomfortable, so I switched it off.
Maybe, "Complete Words" is problem in your case?

I added a wiki article Auto Completion in Notepad2, please read it and help me to improve these articles.

By the way, the assembler instructions for x86_64 or other architecture is not complete.

[koke2c95]

OK, after reading your wiki, so I writing about this requirements .

These functional are required for modern editors

• Metro UI
• Unlimited undo and redo
• Repeat word completion
• The current row number and the same string when the box needs to be highlighted
• Code page automatic recognition conversion
• Automatically identify hyperlinks and highlight them
• Powerful search and replace function
• Personalized fonts and skin menus, etc.
• Support for multiple documents to open
• Automatic temporary Save
• Enhancements: built-in command line
• Support line number display
• High-efficiency editing operation: block box selection

Use universal shortcuts:

• Ctrl+f, Ctrl+h Find, Replace Window
• Ctrl+g to the number of rows
• Shift+Alt block box selection

These functional are required for code editor

• Can identify file types by suffix
• Word highlighting and completion (lexer)
• Function and syntax navigation and support for statement folding (syntax)
• Automatic Indentation and follow Language Format Specifications
• completion of punctuation
• Add-ones function

TODO...

[zufuliu]

Some of these are already supported:

• Unlimited undo and redo. This depends on Scintilla, Notepad2 doesn't set undo limit.
• Code page automatic recognition conversion. File encoding auto detection if performed when open file. Encoding conversion is available in menu File -> Encoding.
• Powerful search and replace function. POSIX RegExp is supported for search.
• Personalized fonts and skin menus, etc. Font can be changed var menu View -> Default Font. Scheme style can be customized var View -> Customize Schemes.
• Line number (Ln), column index (Col) in current line, character index (Ch) in cureent line, selected byte / character count (Sel), selected line count (SelLn), repeated count of current selected/finding content (Fnd) is displayed in status bar.
• Ctrl+F, Ctrl+H Find and Replace. Find and Replace is in Edit menu.
• Ctrl+G to the number of rows. Goto in Edit menu
• Can identify file types by suffix. Already supported, file extension for each scheme can be customized.
• Word highlighting and completion (lexer). Supported some, not powerful as an IDE.
• Automatic Indentation. Not full supported.
• Block box selection. This is called Rectangle selection in Scintilla, can be archived by hold down Alt key before select.

I tried use Alt to block box selection, unfortunately it crashed :(
here is dump file，it show x86 code is incompatible.

It's the Alt key not Tab.
Tab is used to add \t (which can be converted to spaces depends on you settings in Settings -> Tab Settings) or indent selected text.

[zufuliu]

The "Auto Completion Settings" dialog is added.
