autocompletenotepadsyntax highlighting
I am trying to add simple syntax highlighting and auto completion for a simple scripting language…
I added syntax highlighting using this article
Now I want to know how to enable auto completion with Notepad ++ for my custom language. Does anyone know how to do that?
Update:
As of Notepad++ v7.6, use Plugin Admin to install JSTool per this answer
INSTALL
Download it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsminnpp/ and copy JSMinNpp.dll to plugin directory of Notepad++. Or you can just install "JSTool" from Plugin Manager in Notepad++.
New Notepad++ install and where did PluginManager go? See How to view Plugin Manager in Notepad++
{
"menu" : {
"id" : "file",
"value" : "File",
"popup" : {
"menuitem" : [{
"value" : "New",
"onclick" : "CreateNewDoc()"
}, {
"value" : "Open",
"onclick" : "OpenDoc()"
}, {
"value" : "Close",
"onclick" : "CloseDoc()"
}
]
}
}
}
Tip: Select the code you want to reformat, then Plugins | JSTool | JSFormat.
Try Plugins -> XML Tools -> Pretty Print (libXML) or (XML only - with line breaks Ctrl + Alt + Shift + B)
You may need to install XML Tools using your plugin manager in order to get this option in your menu.
In my experience, libXML gives nice output but only if the file is 100% correctly formed.

The link provided by Mark no longer works, but you can go to:
Notpad++ 6.6.9
I find it very annoying though, since a big autocomplete block is always coming up and I would just like to see autocomplete when I press tab or a key combination. I am fairly new to Notepad++ though. If you know of such a key combination, please feel free to reply. I found this question via Google, so we can always help others.
