1.8.3 - Code completion and syntax highlighting

Post by KinkyNearBeer »

Previously (v 1.7 and 1.6 at least), code completion was achieved by hitting ctrl+Space to get a list of suggested function completions, and ctrl+Enter to auto-fill variable and function completion. Neither of these capabilities appear to work in 1.8.3. Further, user defined functions used to be highlighted (they would be displayed in a light-grey text rather than the standard black). That particular syntax highlighting no longer seems to work. Both of these features were a great boon in writing macros in their native editors. If this was an unintentional change, I hope this is a defect that will be resolved soon.

To further clarify, code completion stopped working for user defined functions only. It still works for built-in functions.
