I'm looking for a plugin that'll let you have a list with custom code prototypes. Intellisense-like. I program in Lua for a game with several hundred "keywords"/functions and would like some kind of autocomplete for these... or a "prototype" tooltip.. in case I didn't explain this well enough;
if you have a function called xyzzy(foo) and type:
xy
the plugin would display a tooltip saying "xyzzy(foo)" so you would know what to type.. anybody want to make this? :D
TY in advance

OT a bit - Don, will V5 also address the dynamic docking that I queried the group about previously? i.e. having the option to be able to force a vertical dock to have priority over a horizontal dock? Please advise, when convenient. TIA. -t

Well, I'll consider it, but I promise you nothing.

Thanks for the answers.. I did some reading on the main page, but i didn't find what i was looking for... how do I make "database files" for the functions? Do I need to do anything else?

Mainly, you need to be a ble to prgrammatically retrieve the API you want to generate autocomplete for, I know Java can do it, PHP has files for that and other languages too. Then, you need to generate XML for it. You can look at some example API XML files in Notepad++ to get the general idea. Its still in development so there isnt much, but the PHP file is the richest in detail.
I find TinyXML a very handy framework to work with. Notepad++ makes use of it and if you know C++ its easy to do. However, not many people do but there are plenty of alternatives, you can probably even pull it off with regex (though notepad++ regex is limited :))

Thanks to Harry, the feature you asked will be included in version 5.0.
It'll not be a plugin but a build-in feature.
