6 Aug 2008, SciTE4D text editor 0.17 released.

What's new:
    Autocomplete up to date with DMD 1.0.33 and Tango 0.99.7, DWin 0.38, DWT 3.41
    Use Ddbg to debug the binary

People on the "D Language" News Group started looking at many editors to see which one was the most useful editor for D. 
We found SciTE! The "Package" grew to what it is today with lots of integrated utilities written by "D programming language" community.  

* Customized Syntax highlighting. 

* AutoComplete: D keywords, module names of Phobos, Tango, DWin... (suggest the option in a dropdownbox while typing), just hit ENTER or TAB to Autocomplete.) 

* Code folding for easy code viewing

* Auto indentation while typing

* Customized building : supported GNU make, Windows bat file and DSSS...

* F1 Help : open Helpfile on the keyword were the cursor is located. 

* F7 or Ctrl+F7 : building the project (if Makefile or build.bat or dsss.conf exists)

* Press F5 : run the binary

* Ctrl + F5 : compile, link, and run the program srcfile, No .obj or .exe file is left behind

* F8 : to Debug the binary

* Alt + D : pops up a list of the declarations in the current file

* Alt + M : pops up a list of modules,  Selecting to jumps to the first line of the declaration or module

* Press F12 : search for a declaration with an identifier equal to the one under the cursor and jump there if successful. 

  If you move the cursor over the module name of an import declaration, it will jump to that module. 

* Ctrl + Alt + Shift + D - Build documentation (dsss)

* Ctrl + Alt + Shift + T - Run unittest (dsss)

* Ctrl + Alt + F1 - online MSDN search on the keyword were the cursor is located.

 Getting started 

SciTE4d is a stand alone application. you can figure this out in about 2 minutes.

1. dowload and install SciTE4D:

http://svn.dsource.org/projects/dwin/downloads/scite4d/scite4d.exe

2. Include path configuration

open ...\SciTEGlobal.properties, modify seatd.global.include to fit your specific libraries path.

The global include path is supposed to be set in scite4d\SciTEGlobal.properties, the first line contain the include paths for libraries that all of your projects use (like Phobos or Tango). It is a list of paths separated by ';', for example: 

seatd.global.includec:\dmd\src\phobos;c:\dmd\tango

To change it, modify the line above accordingly and include it in your user options file. 

4. building method Configuration

Open ...\ybud.conf, modified the make method to fit your needs.

The default make is Windows port of GNU make(mingw32-make.exe):

makemingw32-make

You may modified it e.g. makemake to fit your needs.

The default Makefile name is "Makefile":

makefileMakefile

The default Windows bat file name is build.bat:

batfilebuild.bat

You may modified it e.g. "building.bat" to fit you needs.

I recommend you that using dsss to build library, using GNU make to build binary.

5 Click desktiop icon to start SciTE4D

Enjoy :)

 Examples 

1. GNU make example

Open ..\examples\makefile\test.d
press F7 (or Ctrl+F7) to build test.exe
Or press Ctrl+F5 to run test.d directly
press F5 to run test.exe after building

2. Windows bat example

Open ..\examples\bat\test.d
press F7 (or Ctrl+F7) to build test.exe
Or press Ctrl+F5 to run test.d directly
Press F5 to run test.exe after building

3. dsss example (If you have dsss installed)

Open ..\examples\dsss\test.d
press F7 to  debug building.
Or press Ctrl+F7 to release building
Or press Ctrl+F5 to run test.d directly
