I do remember that if I write a code like" function a()",then press ENTER, the IDE will fill " endfunction "automatically.But now it seems doesn't work anymore. So how to get the function back to work?

Look at your settings in: Edit -> Preferences -> Editor -> Completions

i seem to remember this functionality, as well (and, promptly turned it off where it wasn't for me).

Edit -> Preferences -> Editor -> Completions doesn't do anything here, either (Studio 2021.09.30 WIN10)

meanwhile, i've removed the [Solved] tag since there is no solution in this thread other than to report the issue on github.

The functionally you describe is called "snippet completion", although Geany supports snippets and its enabled by default in AppGameKit there are no entries in "snippet.conf", I don't know if there ever was but if so they have been removed.

Go, Menu>>Tools>>Configuration Files>>snippet.conf

Above [C] add this

Quote: "[AGK]
function=function (%cursor%) \r\n endfunction"


Add desired snippets, save, close and reopen AppGameKit ....

Usage instructions are at the top of the file

Edit: in that ^^ example, type function and hit tab

Well ,I can't find the configuration files in Appgamekit studio, and I got nothing after searching for the snippet.conf in the folder of Appgamekit .It's a bit inconvenient. I can't login to the git for these time ,So,it will be nice if you can post this to the github .

@Adam, I only found it myself recently while looking at the Geany plugin framework, its a powerful system, add some [Special] tags to format common text and use those tags to build chunks of code, add in some [Keybindings] and you can write a lot of code with hotkeys, why on earth is this not just a starndard feature but also shouted from the rooftops!!!



and as if by magic, type "select" and hit tab, a whole select statement, could be expanded to paste a whole state machine if so inclined.

@XUTOMMY, soz, this is a Geany feature not an AppGameKit feature but would certainly be nice to have in Studio.

@PTC: Yeah, I've been playing with it. I set up a keybinding for "Move cursor in snippet" (I chose Ctrl+Shift+Space since everything related to Tab is taken).
Then once can have:

With each %cursor% being a stop within the snippet and ctrl+shift+space to move to the next cursor location.

(still trying to find a nice keybinding for it)
