PSLang auto-completion
The user interface can be configured to offer auto-completion of variable or function calls when writing PSLang expressions. Enabling auto-complete provides quick access to help and formatting information.
Only the PSLang functions in the string, time, and misc sections are available for auto-completion.
The auto-complete drop-down list appears as you type a valid expression into a PSLang text area. Only variables, functions and completion options that match your typing are displayed. For detailed information, click the ? link to the right of each listed item.
To see the complete drop-down list of all available options:
Click in an empty PSLang text field.
Press the ↓ key at a word break while typing an expression in a PSLang text area.
Press the ↓ key mid-word while typing an expression that does not match any of the available expressions.
Navigation through the list can be done with the mouse, or using the ↑ and ↓ keys. Selections can be made using the Enter or Tab keys. The Esc key closes the menu.
The PSLang auto-completion functionality can be disabled or enabled by clicking disable auto-completion or enable auto-completion beneath any PSLang text area.
The default settings for the PSLang auto-complete functionality are controlled by the config.js script, located in the \<instance>\design\src\js\ directory. In this script, the AutoCompletePslang group has the following options:
Option | Description |
