How do you code without autocompletion?

The most difficult part of writing code with Corona is for me to work without autocompletion. How do you handle this issue? Is there any editor that supports lua autocompletion? If yes, how do we extend this functionality for Corona api too?

What bothers me most is that both lua and Corona dont even have a full reference list with all the functions/parameters/arguments that could someone refer to optically in an organised way. Both reference apis provided are written as tutorials. So, someone has to have two webpages (corona reference + lua reference) always open and manually search for the appropriate function arguments inside a tutorial. This is not in par with the excellent autocompletion mechanish that Xcode provides for Objective-c, for example.

Sometimes, i find it easier to start writing “difficult” code in ObjC with autocompletion than writing easier code in lua with the doubt/search-in-tutorials or mess-with-arguments/debug process in Corona.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Yeah same here!
I found the way to think about it is this. There’s the big overall picture of the program and all it’s functions and the detailed line by
line that autocompletion takes care of. That part is slower without autocompletion but as far as the big picture is concerned that’s
faster. So it would be great to have both aspects optimal. [import]uid: 8561 topic_id: 2080 reply_id: 6162[/import]
