freakkk,
i'd like a transparency setting for the lower window (the one with the more detailed information that you get with ctl-space).

I read all above posts and on last 3 pages 100% of them are there due to the:

• Not reading or understanding manual
• Not enough will to experiment with the programm and grasp its functionality.

By doing so, you are not only putting negative lite on our work but also preventing us to understand how program behave in real life situations, is it buggy, problematic, stop working etc... Furthermore, as our time is limited you prevent faster evolving of ISense and our ultimate goal - language and place independence.
Also, we are doing this for free, we are not payed babysitters.

In advance, please, before coming here asking for help, make sure you read everything correctly and tried it enough number of times.

From now on, if you don't get any answer on this place, that means that you didn't do something correctly. If you think you found a bug, go to issues section and describe how we can reproduce it for sure.

Chances are majkinetor, the instructions are not so clear and the Isense is not so perfect.

People are here because they appreciate your work, they like the product and they want to help. Sometimes their contributions are helpful, sometimes not. That's just the way it goes.

It is a good idea to use the issues board.

Thanks for pointing out to me! This issue affected IfWinNotActive, IfWinNotExist, SendMessage, StringTrimRight, & StringUpper commands.

I added to the issues.

Alright, thanks for the tip. I'll take a look, and post if I make any headway—although I doubt I will =x

Since it's part of the plan for ISense, and I'm sorry if I've already missed some discussion, I'm looking to see what it would take to port ISense to work with command-line processors completely unrelated to AHK. Examples would include the DOS command prompt, a Linux prompt from a Telnet client, or various database prompts.

What would be the suggested approach to this? Sure I can go through all 1011 lines of v1.5.4 (not including #included code) but I'd like to understand the high-level concepts first.

Let's start with DOS and Linux as examples. Where do we start to target commands like DIR, LS, CD, CHDIR, COPY, CP, etc? I'd rather have a fishing rod than a fish - In other words, I don't want you guys to write this right now, just tell me how this should generally work and I'll take a look at doing some of the work on my own. If you have any alpha code in development I'd love to look at that to see where you're going with it.

Thanks!

I am not giving up any information to the cylon.

Anyway, the plan is to intoduce language configuration file something that can be seen around on many places and it describes language details important for ISense - command/function separators (new line in AHK or ,) argument opener ( "(" ), argument closer ( ")" ), escape character ("`") list of commands/funs, etc....

After that ISense can even become much more powerful in regular operations as it can connect specific window to specific language and change it as you alt tab.

ISense was originaly thought out like that so there are not so many AHK language specifics in the code.

_________________

I understand that this is the plan and that's why I'm asking. I have specific applications for it right now. Since this project has been around for almost two years and the functionality hasn't yet been added, I'm offering to help, even with my basic AHK skills. Has anyone mapped out specific TODO's toward this goal? Like, "this function needs to allow for a generic delimiter other than comma" or "we need to decide on a specific schema for the language file" ? If I know where to start I can start ripping it up on my own. What I don't want to do is to come up with a "colonialized" version of the code that no one can use for other projects because it doesn't fit the plan. Without a guide I'll make my own decisions. I just don't want to be told my approach doesn't fit the plan later, if no one can outline a specific approach now.

There is currently nothing specific. Two of us did have many talks about that but nothing had been materialised yet.

Since you are concerned about cooperation effects, if you have something to contribute to the project we can add you to the Google Code projects as the team member so you would be able to create wiki pages to share your ideas, updated code revisions etc, and we can post comments and talk about it.

Send me a PM if you want to join a project with some concrete to offer.

As I said, we did have some talks but nothing was formaly documented, it was all in e-mail conversations or PMs. I hope we will soon have time to announce some scheme of it and the way to do it.

Keep in mind that as of recent AHK updates, some things that were previously not possible or very hard, now can come into existance.

I'm sorry if I missed it somewhere in the posts, but I'm trying to use ISense with Wordpad (in Vista) and the script does not seem to be able to erase the characters I typed before inserting the auto-completion... meaning, if I type G-U-I-comma... the result is "GuiGui,"... I also noticed that you used to allow for selection of a method for the editor, but since those options are no longer available, I was wondering if anyone know a workaround/solution to this.

No i have to agree most times folks just go "uhit didnt do what i wanted that means its broke" then they come complaining without simply describing what they expected vs what they got and what they did to try get what they expected. in other words the hours spent by programmers working on something meaningfull doesnt deserve the same amount of effort from the customer of the FREE product to try and at least form a meaningfull post of feedback. so why should the programmer waste his time
I am both a writer and a consumer on this forum and were it not for some of the core members forcing me to be more cleaqr and taking time to learn whats really going on i wouldnt have ever been able to get what i needed
At no time has maj stated his work was perfect or his instructions perfect he has said that the description of the problem needs more work and a little more effort from the user in giving a meaningfull way to duplicate said well described problem is required

I solved my problem with Wordpad: some of the previous posts led me to EditorMethods.ahk, where I edited the ISense_SendSelectionMethod1 function by adding at the start of the function. I'm sorry if I annoyed anyone by my , but somehow, I've now broken CTRL+SPACE and ALT+E...

I know that majkinetor says that this is a case of not trying enough or not reading thoroughly, but I still get the above basically blank tooltip.

I am using AHK 1.0.47.06 with Notepad++ v5.0

Further information: typing <space>msgbox causes the popup to display, I tab to accept the only entry (msgbox) and then the blank tooltip shows. if I do the same thing with inputbox, the tooltip shows Outputvar and lots of commas. As I type a variable name and a comma I can see the next comma become bold, and as i enter more text and commas each comma in the tooltip in turn goes bold.

Well, the commands are read from %A_ScriptDir%\res\Commands.txt, so I'm not sure yours would be missing parameters. Also- no one else has reported this.

Can you post / pm / or email a screen shot of the blank tooltip?

freakkk,
here are two pics







I checked the Commands.txt and it looks OK (it is where is should be and it has an entry for msgbox).
