Notepad++ Auto-Complete - autocomplete

I am looking to see if anyone can guide me to constructing an Auto-Complete XML plugin for Lua. I know all about the LOVE thing, but I have no idea how to set it up so it supports metatables too.
For example
local npc = Npc(getNpcCid()) -- This creates an instance of Npc metatable
npc:getName()
Does anyone know how I can make it so it shows a list of all methods in the Npc() metatable when I type "npc:"?
Check out this YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muJvM-Hz6w4
The person that made that video is showing that something like this is possible, but I don't know how to make that possible in the XML plugin.

afaik np++ is not able to search and parse the class outline of separated files. So custom class methods are not able to be detected.
It's auto-complete setting is only for pre-defined static functions only.

How can I add these code completion features my VSCode extension?

I'm in the process of creating a VSCode extension to do code completion for an existing Lua API.
I'm having a bit of trouble achieving the following (examples are JavaScript):
I've been looking for examples and tutorials but haven't come up with much. I assume I may need to do a fair amount of string processing, around the current cursor position, to get enough data to lookup the appropriate documentation (which I stored in an array of json objects). But presently I don't know how to get the meta-data dialog to show when entering parameters.
P.S. I have reviewed the official extension samples.
Your screenshots show two VS Code features:
The first screenshot shows a hover / quick info. It is used to display information about the current word the user is hovering over. To add a hover, your extension should implement and register a HoverProvider
The second screenshot shows parameter hints / signature help. It displays information to the user as they complete a function call. To add signature help, your extension should implement and register a SignatureHelpProvider
In both cases, how you implement the functionality is entirely up to your extension. Most language extensions maintain a structural representation of the file (such as an AST) and use this to provide hover and signature help info.
You can also either implement your extension as a direct VS Code extension or using the language server protocol (which works across editors). See VS Code's Language Extensions Overview for more information about developing a language extension and why you may want to consider the Language Server Protocol

Missing captioned images feature in TinyMCE and Plone5

I'm missing the function to enable captioned images in TinyMCE/Plone5. It was possible to enable that in the control panel with Plone4 (https://plone.org/documentation/manual/plone-4-user-manual/using-tinymce-as-visual-editor/images).
Now I'm using the new Plone5rc3 with TinyMCE 1.4.3, but the properties of TinyMCE in the control panel don't have the needed checkbox.
Does anybody know how to get that?
Thanks a lot!
So here's an answer in parts: you need several things for the captions to work:
Your <img> tags need to have the class captioned. I still need to find a good way to do that. The image picker will remove all other classes everytime you open it, so I guess a good way would be to change the classes that are added by the inline/left/right selection, but I've not easily found where those are defined.
You need the output filter, but fortunately, that is still there. However, the filter wants to see an IImageCaptioningEnabler, which is essentially a flag to turn the captioning mechanism on, and the old editors used to have that and currently, nothing in standard Plone does provide such a beast. If you're comfortable with add-on development, the class you want is
from plone.outputfilters.filters.resolveuid_and_caption import IImageCaptioningEnabler
from zope.interface import implements
class CaptioningAlwaysEnabled(object):
implements(IImageCaptioningEnabler)
available = True
with corresponding configure.zcml stanza
<utility factory=".resolveuid_and_caption.CaptioningAlwaysEnabled"
name="plone5-captions-always-enabled"
zcml:condition="have plone-5" />
(you can tell I patched buildout-cache/plone.outputfilters-2.1-py2.7.egg/plone/outputfilters/filters/configure.zcml and resolveuid_and_caption.py to include that, but of course, you shouldn't do that.)
If you're not comfortable with add-on development, you could, bizarrely enough, see if another editor provides that global switch, you don't need to have it set as your editor or the default editor. (Products.kupu would, but it doesn't install in 5.0. collective.ckeditor might, I can't try that right now due to missing dependencies.)
So, summary: no, you can't easily turn it on; you can turn it on with a bit of hacking; and if you file it as a feature request, it's the kind of thing that takes about fifteen minutes to fix for somebody who knows their way around the code.

Which eclipse listener should I use to add annotations to a text editor

I am an eclipse newbie. I have a long term goal which is to add my own annotations to the java editor: a bit like FindBugs. I want my own static code analysers, and to be able to add markers/annotations to resources.
So I have read a lot of excellent documentation, and undertaken a load of tutorials. The most helpful was probably http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/tutorials/os-ecl-commplgin2/section9.html. A lot of the Lars Vogel documents have been useful too. I can now make TextEditors with syntax highlighters. I am however struggling with the best approach for adding annotations.
I understand roughly how to do this: the text editor has a DocumentProvider. The DocumentProvider has an AnnotationModel. It is possible to add annotations to the annotation model.
My question is "where do I put this code" specifically the code that scans the text in the editor and updates the annotation model. It seems clear that this should be in response to a listener...but which one?
I have tried a ResourceChangeListener. This seems to only fire on a save option, rather than when text is typed. In addition I don't know how to get the editor from the resource. ("The" editor is probably a misnomer as presumably the resource can be open in multiple editors). I can find the current editor via IWorkbenchWindow activeWorkbenchWindow = workbench.getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage().getActiveEditor(), but this seems the wrong approach, as I want to update all relevant annotation models.
I have tried adding an ElementStateListener to the text editor. None of the events seem to be the one I want.
I've looked at DamageRepairers...these seem to nearly be what I want, except that long term I want to tie into the JavaEditor, so I don't want to change the default DamageRepair.
Thanks for all the help
I found that this question can be answered, by mentioning the following resource: www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/tutorials/os-eclipse-plugin-guide/index.html
The question author also mentions here:
I add the annotations to the resource, and the annotations are
auto-magically added to the editor.
So when my plugin starts I run through the active resources, add
annotations to them if needed, then add a resource changed listener
which adds them as the resource is opened.

Customizing IMarker behavior

I'm trying to make an Eclipse plugin that will highlight certain lines certain colors based on outside input. Is there any way to specify the behavior of a new IMarker rather than rely on basic implementation of bookmarks, problems, etc?
Thanks
I don't have the complete solution, but I think, I can give you some starting points.
The basic idea is to create custom annotations for your custom markers. You can define your own marker types, and register constant formatting rules for it (the latter one is a shameless link to one of my own blog posts). In this case, if your code creates the correct marker types, you can add the different formatting regarding the output.
On the other hand, if you have only a single problem type, I don't know the correct answer, but the Annotation Model Creation extension seems to be the answer. For details look at the Eclipse help.

customized links in the org mode

I use org mode to store shortcuts for my projects. Such org files contain mostly links which I create using org-insert-link. But sometimes the simple link is not sufficient so I have to use lisp functions. This works fine but it does not look very nice.
Is there a way to create a link which would call a lisp function?
you can define new "link types" in org-mode with the function org-add-link-type to which you tell what elisp function you want to call for a particular protocol. So, in your case, you could define new protocols for "http-ie" and "load-xml-dirs" and write wrapper functions to process the parameters right. Then you would write your links as normal org links, but with a protocol prefix.
The example from the documentation page is quite straightforward I guess, let me know if it's not enough.
