Hi,
I love the "Insert _ after m and shift" feature but it is really lacking support for the g_ and s_ prefixes (for globals and statics). Is it possible to add them to the next build?
Thanks a lot. |
Regards,
Yarin |

the problem here is that g_ and s_ are probably a lot less standard. lets see how other people respond to this idea.
as for a time scale, it is most unlikely to make it into the next beta, even if it is wildly popular. there are still quite a few outstanding bug reports to address  |

s_ would be bad because sStringName is common. (I realise it would overwrite it, but it's still visual distraction, and there's a risk that you might stop and think after the s and end up with an extra underscore). g_ might be OK, but I think it's a lot less common than m_ (and global variables are evil  ). |

This is exactly what I added as a comment to the code I'm working on. 
Unfortunately it isn't my code and I am obliged to work with it. Since I'm pampered by VA X' m_-Auto-Complete-Feature it is _really_ annoying to me to write "g_" everytime... |

surely you only have a small handful of evil global variables?
personally i would type 'g' and then either wait for VAX to prompt me with the full variable name, or simply hit CTRL_SPACE if i was feeling impatient. given only a couple of global variables VAX should bee prompting you with the correct name after a little while using them and typing 'g' |

| Ok, and what about s_? static variables ain't that bad... s_-completion could be made a separate option in the options menu so that you can turn it off if you only need the m_-completion. |

i have never used s_ for any of my static variables, perhaps because i never thought of it
each new option is quite a lot of work for whole tomato due to the fact that they have to code around each of the supported IDE's separately for each option. i don't mind the idea, but i would like to see a bit more support before putting in a request. |
