Auto casing?

[ilengyel]

Is it possible to auto case certain keywords? For example, if you type

Code: Select all

for 

the lexer or editor changes the text to

Code: Select all

FOR

Why you tell only about "case"?
Autoreplaces are better. In CudaText see "snippets"

Thanks, this will be good for common keywords. I was hoping to also use this for a set of well known identifiers, but I would like to avoid to create a snippet for each (counted in the 100s). Maybe there is a way to have a function list/intellisense for these and any others deemed to be function identifiers?

To answer my own question, I have discovered the SynWrite help which has a topic on Auto-completion and "Auto-Correction of Id Case"... I will see if this applies to cudatext too.

Your wish is good. But i still think replacements are better then only cases.
Need will append to snippet plugin simple list

Code: Select all

word1 replacement1
word2 replacement2
...

After then you will can write a file

Code: Select all

for FOR
in IN
...

and will be able to write "for", click Tab and see "FOR".
Is it solve you problem?

It's solved via Snippets plugin now. plugin supports .cuda-snips files [in folder data/snippets] in format shown above.
But user needs to press Tab after snip name.
W/o pressing Tab not solved.

@topic starter
Pls make snippet file in .cuda-snips format
It's described here http://wiki.freepascal.org/CudaText#For ... ppet_files

Later will be plugin Auto Replace, which will use same snippets for autoreplace w/o tab-key.

Can you help with other snippets for other lexers?

[Alexey]

No feedback, so postponed making the plugin, not easy.

Sorry with late reply, I ended up going with SynWrite since the function hint, parameter list and autocasing gave the full experience I wanted. The only improvement to that I could see is adding support for individual parameter hints as the function args is typed out.

Hi Alexey,
I would also be interested in this feature. Oberon and Lola-2 have case-sensitive keywords.
