Hi Justin, adding auto-completion back would be good, however I'm not convinced the method used in 2.4x is all that great. This used python to parse the script to give suggestions, but personally I prefer simple 'dictionary' based auto-completion since the python parsing didn't always work right in my experience. Rather then trying to be too smart - just gather all unique words used in the text and auto-completion based on that. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
