Re: [OpenSCAD] Abbreviations
Seems like my problem with braces is a well known Qt bug (
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-10269).
Not sure if it has been fixed in Qt5 but it seems so.

I'm using an italian keyboard on which the curly

The + key is used to produce a * in combination with
shift. This does not happen in Ubuntu, so it seems a
QScintilla (or Scintilla) bug.
It could also be one of the (a bit annoying) platform
differences which all the Qt stuff is supposed to hide.
I also verified the crash when the scad.api file is
missing, which I'll try to solve.
Yep, I found the crash is gone after putting in the
scad.api file. I just missed it's two files that need
to be put there.
I still could not get it to expand the shortcuts, yet.
I'll have to have a closer look again, for which I
might not have the time in the next couple of days.
I hope the build is still useful for others, we can
try adding the files to the next build...
ciao,

Hi,
I think "z" for scale is better because z suggests zoom (up, down) and scale
can be seen as a "kind of zoom". The "+" has a variable position on
international keyboards and sometimes we need to press "shift" to get the
"+". Scale less than 1 suggests "-".
The "k" for minkowski is because k is repeated, so it is easy to remember.
As you said, being configurable, any one can choose the letters they feel
more comfortable with.
Thanks.

The various np++ (Scintilla based) language definitions recognise keywords
starting with the same letters, they show a dialogue with the options, you
just need to type the next letter, or use up/down to select. That is a much
better approach than bastardising things like k for minkowski.
http://docs.notepad-plus-plus.org/index.php/Auto_Completion
Personally I like the 'Additionally there is a setting "From X th
character", accepting a the minimum length of a prefix needed before the
completion list is shown (some people like 2, some 3, some 4...)' set to 2,
so you just type tr<tab|enter> for translate etc, that covers most
conflicting prefixes.
np++ is open source (but Windows only), but based on Scintilla, so perhaps
some of its autocomplete code (https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus) could
be harvested?

They're both reasonable choices. In any case abbreviations are not really
useful for constructs that are not used often enough. But having them in
the definitions file won't do any harm.

What you're talking about here is "autocompletion", while the main subject
is abbreviations. The two functionalities are aimed at different users.
While autocompletion helps novices which do not know or remember easily the
language constructs, abbreviations helps experts in being more productive.
The second kind of users would be quite annoyed by popups flickering around
every couple of seconds.
Actually we ended up implementing both of them, so you'll be free to chose
what you like best.
np++ uses Scintilla directly, not the QScintilla layer; so I guess reusing
portions of code would not be feasible.

A few improvements. Separated "complete word" (from document) and new
"complete symbol" (from APIs). Shortcuts are CTRL+Return as before for the
first and CTRL+SPACE for the second (same as SciTE editor and quite handy I
think).
I added the abbreviations suggested by jpmendes (z for scale jp :) ), and
many APIs definitions from your code

I think that's not really possible (or easy...) unfortunately. QScintilla
and Scintilla are quite different in some cases, even with the first being
based on the latter one.
That said, the autocomplete is built-in as shown in the screencasts in
https://github.com/openscad/openscad/pull/905 - only the selection of what's
displayed is actually part of the application.
I guess all those features are similar enough to just have all the variations
and let the user decide what to enable.
ciao,
Torsten.
Hello everyone. It's been a while since I wrote that code and never looked
back at it. Sadly I discovered today that it didn't find it's way in the
OpenSCAD source code. I'm painfuly applying my patches by hand to the new
code base. Since I still think the feature was useful and not harmful to
people who will not apreciate it, I'm back at asking for it to be included
in OpenSCAD.
Any chances?
I'm obviously available at releasing a patch file as soon as I finish the
job

Your list of abbreviations is nice. But, it would be a great help, at least
for me, if the editor automatically closes every opened key (, [ and { as
Notepad++ does. In long expressions, I always forget something at the end.
Besides, in very frequent fragments like:
for(i=[0:len(var)-1])
18 strokes are needed besides the variable name and something is always
missing. To correct such fragments is lengthy then type them. Needless to
say I am not a great typist and I define much more functions then modules.

Abbreviations do (partially) solve the problem. If you expand 'c' you will
get cube([]); with closed parentheses and a semicolon. The cursor will be
put in the right spot for you to digit the correct parameter values, i.e. in
between the brackets. You will only have to press the End button when your
job is done
