Add-in Editor: Useful information

The add-in editor supports our scripting language and can assist you developing add-ins. It offers intelligent code completion and useful commands for coding.

Fullscreen mode

The editor may be used in fullscreen mode to get the full width and height for scripting. Just press the icon in the top right-hand corner, and both the menu and the variable-allocation-sidebar folds in. The editor now uses the full width and height available on the LMC page.

Intelligent code completion

The intelligent code completion supports the resolution of OIDs to paths, paths to OIDs, and the most popular commands for scripting with config and context commands like config.getTableByOid(). The completion window should appear while you type the code.
If the code completion window is not displayed, you can press STRG + SPACE (Windows) or CONTROL + SPACE (Mac).

Syntax highlighting and formatting

The syntax highlighting and representation is improved; errors or warnings are now marked in a more intuitive way. Additionally, code formatting functionality is provided. You can use the context-menu with click-right or you can press SHIFT + ALT + F (Windows) or SHIFT + OPTION + F (Mac) on your keyboard to format the code.

Command-Palette

For other useful commands in scripting, you can use the command palette. You can open it via right-click or pressing F1.

Variable-Synchronisation

With the synchronisation-button in the variable sidebar, you can automatically synchronize the application variables used in script with allocated application variables.
