Ah hah. Thanks for that tip. I’m fairly sure that I don’t have the proper order then. I’ll have to take a closer look at that.

For instance, when sorting lexicographically, I had to list the special characters with the capital letters first and then the lower case letters with that same special characters first in the list, and then do the non-special characters under that in Caps first and then lowercase equivalents under that group. Here is a pic of the order I had to do where the Upper special character ends and the Lower special charater starts:

As you can see by that pic, the space character had to be repalced by   so the space between words would show, since a simple spacebar could’t be represented. At first I toyed with using the _ but then that was being inserted into the file and the programmer would have to remove it…which was more trouble than it was worth, until I found this solution reading the docs and asking questions here. :)

Thanks for the explanation. I’ll try to make a small scale UDL and illustrate the problem more clearly. Hopefully that will result in my error, or a bug.

All I know, is when I asked this same question about how to stop getting all the words of the document included, that’s how it was explained to me. Function completion is the autoCompletion file, words is everything you typed in that document, and both includes both. I was trying to eliminate the words of the document, not the keywords, and that is the setting I was advised to use for that reason. Unless there is something wrong in the list, the keywords should be coming up just like the functions. I will say that occasionally, NPP acts a little weird with the UDL stuff. For instance, while trying this out on a portable version to verify the keywords coming up with the functions, my UDL wasn’t responding. I don’t know if it’s because I have a lot of other stuff open, my computer…etc, but it wasn’t coming up until about the 3rd time I’d open the document and started typing that it started to work…so if everything is working right, that’s the way it’s supposed to work.

I had tried this. And only the items marked as func="yes" show up in this case.

I’ve done several variations of this, and restarted NPP every time.

One thing I have noticed here is that when a keyword/function contains an underscore, that seems to be causing an issue currently, unless “words” are also enabled along with functions.

Hope that makes sense.

In your autoCompletion file, if this is a UDL, or even the stock language, all the Keywords and Functions should be in the same file that is used to search, so setting the Function completion would only use that file. If you are actively creating functions as you code, then that won’t be available only…I believe.
