Yeah, this is the best area for external tools to be used to make working with CC programs easier. This is where emulator programs have historically been posted, for example. The Programs section itself should only have ComputerCraft programs posted in it.

• Brand New GUI (Will be refined further) that is available by using the Shell Script or Executable provided. Alternatively using the 'gui' flag.
• Further retouching of the Autotyping speed and responsiveness to Keybindings.
• Icons! Albeit temporary.
• Executables, thanks to Bash and Launch4j
• Lots of GUI Refinement…. Lots and lots of testing and simplification. Though "Location Memory" still needs to be implemented

1. CCAutotyper-{VERSION}-win32.exe (A Self-Extracting Archive with the Windows Executable)
2. CCAutotyper-{VERSION}.zip (Standard ZIP Archive including the Executable Bash Script. Does not include the Windows Executable.)

Nice! I didn't think anyone actually saw my Autotyper, let alone try to improve it! :ph34r:/>

• AutoComplete on Location using Ctrl + Space with a history size of 50 locations. Should be plenty.
• Code Confirmation as an optional setting. Brings up a display with syntax highlighting to approve or reject.
• Improved Undo/Redo Ability
• Improved Text Components thanks to RSytanxTextArea and RTextArea as well as AutoComplete

• Information Button now leads to Github Readme Page via Default Browser
• Pre-loads 3 Locations used in testing.
• Bubbles! by KingofGamesYami
• Milkshake GUI Proof of Concept by lednerg
• Advanced Calculator by Cranium

• Inclusion of RSyntaxTextArea Library by Fifesoft
• Inclusion of AutoComplete Library by Fifesoft
• Improvements to MemoryUnit.java, adding conversions to and from SI Units and Non-SI Units as well as conversions between SI and Non-SI.
• LocationHandler.URL now does the same HTTP Response check that LocationHandler.PASTE does.
• System.out is now overridden to ignore any messages that just contain "Yo" which was prompted by RSyntaxTextArea not removing a Test Line. This should not impact Console calls.
• Foundations for a JavaFX GUI Implementation

• New Versioning: MAJOR.MINOR.REVISION
• Cleaner way of handling the transition from GUI Event Handling to the Autotyping Task, no longer is there an obvious unresponsive window during autotyping
• New Identification Scheme for Locations in the Location History list. (Local File:, Web URL:, and Pastebin:)
• Auto-Completion no longer displays annoying empty pop-up lists
• Application is Now Java 1.8 (Windows Users have a 1.8 JRE bundled with their executable)

• Autotyper Window is now hidden during autotyping
• Foundations for notifying the user of the countdown to autotyping.

From memory the text is limited at 255 characters per paste event. Using paste events is faster than lots of chars so part of what you have said is still implementable.

Line longer than 128 characters? More common than you think.

• General improvements to AutoCompletion (All those things stated in last update now actually work)
• Alt, Alt-P and Alt-S were broken at some stage in my last cleanup, now they work as expected
• Updating to New Versions now cause all Preferences to be overwritten to avoid incompatible KV Pairs
• This means that the new version will not remember your previous settings at all
• AutoCompletion no longer does a prefix lookup, now it searches for any occurrence at any point in the result.
• i.e. Typing 'ste' will return all 'Pastebin' results since 'ste' appears in the middle of Pastebin

• Continued Cleanup and Conversion to clean Java 8 Functional Idioms
• The 'caused' flag no longer does anything in AutoCompleteTextField, that was replaced with a Key EventHandler and Mouse EventHandler attached to the ListView
• AutoCompleteTextField is just generally nicer to read since more procedures have been moved to their own methods
• SwingKeyboard and FXKeyboard now implement a Queue to allow interaction with the JNativeHooks Dispatch Thread
• More To-Do's as clean-up continues. Might repalce AutoCompletion with ControlsFX. Why re-invent the wheel?
• AutoCompletion requires a re-structuring or removal, it is not very plug-and-play. (too few interfaces)
• Continued attempts to remove Static Variables and the horrible Singleton Pattern…
• Removed useless @InDev annotation, Renamed InformedOutcome to Outcome, Other Renamings (see commit)
• Moved all popup.show() calls to AutoCompleteTextField.showPopup(), same for popup.hide() and hidePopup()
• All calls in FXAutotyperWindow from AutoCompeleteTextField.addData are filtered through saveToHistory now
• Prevents Duplicate Entries in AutoCompleteTextField
• Checking if a location already is saved is now done through Google Commons' Hashing Functions
• Continued Documentation Effort

Wow! You're right! xD
Even though I program with 2 space-indent and have pretty good formating there are 4 lines in my current project (noptepad), that are longer than 128 chars.

It is absolutely 10x faster to copy and paste from the clipboard but the primary problem is the character limit and that you have to be careful to not break the lua interpeter when you split lines up.

Wut? Splitting lines up is a problem in your opinion? Just don't press return between two spilts? xD Or am I misunderstanding/forgetting something?

function
hello
(text)
print(text)
end

if
true
then
hello("hi")
else
hello("Confused")
end

I was referencing that I never actually tried splitting if then, for do, function, etc. statements onto multiple lines. After doing a quick test when I woke up to see your reply this morning, the Lua interpeter is a lot better than I thought… though to be fair I think splitting your statements onto multiple lines (except for if then else variable initialization) is just insanely bad practice so I never did that. Nice to know it works though, again I will be playing with this and a few other ideas this week.

Truly I was happy to find this worked:

function
hello
(text)
print(text)
end

if
true
then
hello("hi")
else
hello("Confused")
end

Is it just me, or are you not quit understanding what I mean by splitting?

I don't mean splitting one long line into multiple lines. I just mean, if you have a line with >128 chars you put the first 128 chars into the clipboard and simulate a paste, then you put the rest (if it is less 128 chars) in and then finally press return and you still have everything in one line and don't have to worry that the Lua interpreter will get confused since it pastes the file exactly like it was before. Is that so hard to understand? xD

• New 'scripts' directory in which any non-java scripts will be stored for use later on
• Primarily included as of this update to allow for use of luamin
• Minification of Lua Code is now possible (to reduce character count and speed up the typing process) using luamin through nashorn
• Files downloaded from Pastebin or some URL are now stored in a '.cctyper-cache' hidden directory (Up to 20 files are stored)
• This likely warrants an uninstall script to handle removing any hidden directories/files
• Fixes for autotyping in which Multi-line comments and in-line comments were not handled correctly
• This was likely due to API restructuring and not an ages old bug
• Small fix to try and ensure that icons appear in Ubuntu-based OS' on load, not on show
• Multiple URL (non-pastebin) files are now cached, moved away from calling them all "cc-auto-file" and now uses a random crc32c based naming system

• Cleaned up certain text snafus
• Added a minification checkbox which has it's state saved between each instance
• Added tooltips to certain things of importance such as the minification check box, location field, menubar buttons (top left)
• Code Preview now loads Minified code instead of original code so that the user may deem if the Minification was worth it or too dangerous
• New links to the Github Page and the Developer Website on the Copyright dialog

• New 'minify' package where any minification APIs will reside, currently this is all centralized in a single 'Minifier' class that uses luamin to minify Lua Code using the Nashorn Scripting Engine.
• Moved setAppIcons to Resources instead of FXAutotyperWindow
• Further documentation effort… hopefully some day….
• Reticulated splines
• New TimedTooltip that allows modificaiton of the Open Time (time between hover and showing the tooltip) using Reflection to create a TooltipBehavior
• New WebLink that puts the basic function of a Hyperlink in one call. Creates a Hyperlink with a URL location to go to using HostServices or something similar
• More debug information as well as more readable documentation (i.e. Loading and Saving Preferences)
• FXGuiUtils.buildLongAlert now allows you to specify a list of Nodes to include at the bottom of the dialog
• GuiAccessors must now provide a openSite method that opens a URL in a web browser
• TypingMethodology fixed to handle spaces, comments and multi-line comments correctly
• Console.empty() now prints an empty line
• Web Files (non-pastebin) are now stored in the cache using a Random filename that is dervied from the result of CRC32C and then turned into a hex string
• Much better than just "cc-auto-file"
• Cleaned up legacy stuff, especially in the console interface. Swing needs to be cleaned.
• Updated libraries as necessary and ensured compatibility

• Resolves bug on windows machines where attempts to set POSIX permissions on cache files would cause an exception.
• Improved minification performance using cached files and Google Good Fast Hash as found in the hidden .cctyper-cache directory
• This is a statically sized evicting queue removing the Least Recently Accessed files when space is needed
• Better LuaString repair method using regular expressions
• Tooltip Updates for final release
