Notepad++ and code completion

Question

Is there any way to improve code completion in notepad++?

Currently it supports some kind of "static" code completion and it requires to make a list of instructions and they parameters in xml file or it works on a list of words in open document. I`m looking for something that can read *.h files and make that list automatically and also use variables and functions from current file.

Answer 1

You have some code completion sections to look at here. But i would mainly suggest you change to an IDE for the programming language because Notepad++ doesn't have any of the benefits you find in a Real IDE. ( Maybe because it's a text-editor and not an IDE ).

Answer 2

No. NotePad++ is a text-editor, not an IDE. Unless you want to extend it yourself, you're not going to do any better than what is there.

Answer 3

Not possible without creating your own plugin.

It might be faster to develop a script that parses your .h files and creates an auto-complete language file for notepad++.

Although a plugin that parsed your include files (for any language) and added them to the auto-complete would be very nice.
