UPDATED 3RD JAN 2009
ADDED NOTEPAD2 4TH JAN 2009
(notepad2 requires the window title display to be set to full pathname in settings tab)

This stemmed from the Big Notes code i posted earlier, an idea that seems to work very well now i have it running right.
I wanted to Jump to any SUB instantly while programming, Big Notes let me scroll there without missing it, but this is way way better....
Use in your scripts the following:
;tag

Whatever is immediately on the next line, (usually the Sub Name) is listed in SubScript's listview.
double clicking the item in listview instantly uses your editors CTRL F and jumps to the location in your code.
NO MORE SCROLLING LOOKING FOR SUBS....OR ANY OTHER ITEM YOU ;tag
I made it live vertically on the left side of the screen so all subs are easy to click on when you are using it.
previous version is here http://www.trubbleguy.com/SubScript.zip**UPDATED 11/21/2007**
Please Note Anchor.ahk is needed for resizing GUI, you will find all needed files in the ZIP

Just re-posted it, looks like some "HARD" spaces in the font got lost, could be from pasting here, ill check and if its due to cut and paste, ill store the whole file on my server for download

Nice script! I wonder if a simpler approach could also be useful:
A hotkey copies the word under the caret to the clipboard, jumps to the beginning of the file and initiates a search for the clipboard content, in the beginning of lines.
(To easily distinguish between function definitions and calls, always write the definition at the leftmost position of a line, and indent calls.)
Of course, it is not as fancy: e.g. there is no tag list, but requires no explicit ;tags.

[Trubbleguy]

i did think that way at the start but had to make a file with all the sub headers like
open:
getdata:
renamefile:

i had to create a seperate file for all the tags and then search for any line in the ahk file that matched the tag but ended the line with :
i did work that out, but when it came to changing scripts i was working on, it had to have the file changed to suit the new script, so a simple ;tag set in the ahk was easier and does it all on the fly.
have you tried it with any other editor? i only have Crimson and Notepad

I tried with :

check your autoTrim setting. I had some trouble with his code until I got the right settings figured out.

i tested the script again here, worked fine, copied to another pc and worked fine, i did find some missing "hard" spaces and replaced them again, the font is HARD spaced to try and overcome proportional fonts a little better, download the ahk from
http://www.trubbleguy.com/subscript.zip
if the code doesnt copy

[Trubbleguy]

i tested a version that looked for : at the end of a line and it did work beautifully but every damn sub listed, making subscript visually overloaded with subs.
thats one more handy thing in the way subscript shows SUBS in your ahk.
When you have a SUB working Perfectly and no longer needs changing or modding, simply delete the ;tag line and it stops listing in subscript.
I can have 30-40 subs in my ahk but only list 12-15 of the subs i am continually looking at or modding.
If anybody is interested in a version that also lists by subname: i will mod this one to do "subname:" or ";tag".
might be handy being able to switch to subname: if you need a non listed sub if in ;tag mode
i have to admit i cant program without subscript now, im so used to jumping to a sub in a split second without scrolling, it makes my programming time waste nearly nil.

Enguneer,
any chance you can help figure out why sometimes the single click fails on subscripts syslistview321 panel and it fails to jump to the required sub in the editor, is it something to do with focus?

Thanks.

[Joy2DWorld]

great idea!!!


have some suggestions, maybe worthwhile, maybe not....




see if this gives any help (?)



for users of SciTE.... might really like this.... (ps: left vs. right side of function name click makes difference, as does placement of box over or outside of SciTE window, anyhows...)


have just thrown together... but *wow* trubbleguy what a great idea!!!! it works great!!!!

[Trubbleguy]

as long as it saves a lot of time NOT scrolling it works for me
as i said before, i now cannot live without it as its so handy to jump to a script sub.
btw, your coding is very neat and ten times deeper than mine, i have some basics but i do learn somthing new every day.
i loved the neat background and copied into my personal version.

[Joy2DWorld]

@Trubbleguy,

thanks... your tool is fantastic!


posted just in case might want to try out getting the control text directly (ex. use windows spy for control id) and maybe even using my RegExMatchG() Global match to parse for functions etc.. [more on it in another thread.. can forumsearch? for RegExMatchG ?]


but anyhow... am *really* enjoying using the tool.... the tool is super hepful!

Should now work with any editor that has .ahk in the Name at the top of the editor.
needs anchor to work correctly in resize but is included in the zip file in the first post.

Fantastic program!

However i found it didnt cope with my editor/system, and made some MODS. Now works much faster, although since dont need BIG NOTES
I removed section from program. - but added various options:
Display "Labels:" in .ahk, or ":Labels" in .BAT, .txt
Select for Labels or ;Tag
Unsorted listview or select SORTED list
... other options detailed in Readme.txt
I will try to upload a zip to this site

[TWmailrec]

Since i cant upload zip, new code for subscript is

[TWmailrec]

whoops!

I added subscript.ini, and readme.txt to code section!
Corrected below:

subscript.ahk:
