WhatProvides

With the first Stable Release of myScite (scite_webdev), i like to show a short list of changes implemented above vanilla scite.

• Theming Infrastructure.

  • resides in folder theme.
  • defines a set of colours and fonts, currently implemented 3-Toned themes
    : blackBlue, solarized and sciteVanilla in "paperGrey" :)
  • handles compatibility with other scite forks and implements window transparency (>=win7).
  • defines additional toolbar buttons

• Configuration

  • nearly all .properties files have been either enhanced or recieved a rewrite.
  • Configuration has been designed to be a well balanced default Set which mets common Editor Expectations.
  • Scites Global and User Properties recieved inline documentation to make users customizing easier.

• Portability

  • myScite has been patched to cope with beein either locally installed in Users Home
    or just been called from eg an USB Stick.
  • Just copy SciTEUser.properties and the Folders {User} and {Tools} to anywhere (say home\Documents\scite32) and point SciTEGlobal.properties env.scite_userhome to that location. (say env.scite_userhome=$(env.home)\Documents\scite32). Works like charm.

• Enhanced Autocomplete

  • myScite includes an allround lua based Autocomplete Script, orginally written by Lexikos.
    Its not IntelliSense(c), but at least -makes writing code on the fly easier.

• Debugging facilities

  • Using a modified version of SciTE_debug
  • Its able to debug binaries using GDB / debug Lua Scripts internally and Trace Python and PHP Scripts.
  • Resides within the Folder Addons/lua/scite-debug and is available through Scites MainMenu -> Debug (Windows)

• Languages and Calltips ( API Docs for Autocomplete)

  • more then 2300 newly created API Calltips for..
  • CPP98 & CPP11/14 (from CplusPlus.com)
  • JScript & Javascript 1.6 & jQuery1.9 (jQuery.org)
  • VBScript (HTA & Windows Scripting Host from MSDN) ,
  • common used Browser WebAPIs (MDN)
  • Scite has been patched to display AutocompleteLists in a more flexible manner

• Addons

  • Forms an very simple and easy to use Addon System- free and open to support all kinds of already available Tools like:
  • ..Using GCC as a Linter (Cody Style Hints) and Uncrustify as a Code Beautifier. (c/cpp/java and javascript)
  • ..Utilize (lua,ruby,php...) based mods - like a sidebar for scite (from scite.ru)
  • ..Have fun with some Steampunk, like a >20Year old Font Engine rewritten in plain Batch (Figuref)
  • ..Mitchells Scintillua (write Lexers in Lua) and mod-orthospell (Hunspell bindings for Scite)
  • Includes a simple Path Containary AppendToolPath Sandbox, so you can use aboves tools parallel to already system installed ones.

• Mods

  • If you wish to play, be invited to use Scites Lua Extension Layer for writing more capable mods.

• Translations

  • Scite has been translated into over 40 Languages by really nice people from all over the World. :')

• Linux

  • Linux is supported vi two generic builds: linux32 and linux64

• Planned

  • try to contribute some content to https://www.geany.org/
  • search for scite related work on the net and at least port that to a scite mainline usable format.
