Editor for IDEA scripting
Forums
Hi Brian,
I am using the German version of IDEA 9.2 (and have not seen the Canadian original yet). However, I am not really happy about the editor which is included in the software. For testing purposes it is sometimes convenient to comment a whole block of code. I could not find a function to do it in this editor.
Do you use the standard editor for scripting in IDEA or can you recommend a different one?
Best,
Bobby

You won't be able to see the script with an executable, that is one of the reasons why you make an executable is so others can't change the script. If the person who created it just used regular IDEA routines then there is a possibility of recreating it by first running it and then using the history to recreate the script. You would need to recreate the dialog if there is one. If they are doing something that is not recorded in the history then that will be lost as it is hidden and can't be accessed.
Hi Bobby,
Hi Bobby,
Unfortunately I have to agree with you on that. The editor is fairly old and doesn't have a lot of the functionality that you would expect in a modern editor, such as code completion, comment blocks, etc. I haven't tried using it but I know severaly of the programmers that script at IDEA use Notepad++, so you might want to give that a try.
