I just wanted you plugin makers to know that I found a VERY nice plugin editor, AnyEdit (www.anyedit.org, open source). I just found out that it can also autocomplete anything you have in the plugin, as well as color XML and languages, so it's become my editor... I will see if I can get it to color XML AND VBScript together in one file, and if I get anywhere I'll post it here so you can download it. Download it, I find it very handy.

P.S. I am not affiliated with them, this isn't advertising :P

Hmm. Other that the fact that it still isn't exactly a perfect fit to Mushclient, whose plugins and scripts live in a very different world than either normal scripting or full application programming, this looks interesting. Though making it color script inside if XML is going to be the same major pain as it is for SciTE. Why? Because if you look hard enough, it is obvious that AnyEdit is based on Scintilla, which is what SciTE uses. This means that their methods of displaying things are going to be identical. AnyEdit could be looked at as a sort of Super-SciTE in this respect. The question is, is all the extra gadgetry in AnyEdit really helpful if all you want to do is edit a plugin, especially since it can't do any better than SciTE when displaying them?

I don't know about SciTE, but AnyEdit branches your ifs and buts if it recognises them, which rocks. I.e., it displays little plus signs in the line number which you can click to make the commands between if and endif disappear... Also with select case, etc... I've never seen that anywhere else, and I'm trying to make it color now as well...

SciTE does the same. Like I said, SciTE is basically an IDE 'shell' the uses Scintilla. AnyEdit also uses Scintilla and thus they both work the same, at least in their editing. The major difference is bells and wistles. AnyEdit has a bunch of extra buttons at the top, the tree list on the side and I would guess either integrates the IE core or some other 'web' interface to let you 'browse' your pages as you write them. It definitely does more, but it still relies on the Scintilla Lexers and that is why it won't color code inside of an XML file.
