Notepad++ Auto-Complete Config for LÖVE 0.6.2

[GreatHeroRift]

I just recently discovered LÖVE, and I love it. But there was one thing that was bugging me: wouldn't it be great if Auto-Complete in Notepad++ worked with LÖVE's API?

Well, now it can!

Instructions:
- Download the lua.xml and place it in your Notepad++/plugins/APIs/ directory.
- In Notepad++, go to Settings > Preferences in the menu.
- Select the Backup/Auto-Completion tab.
- Make sure "Enable auto-completion on each input" is checked.
- Set it to "Function completion."
- And check "Function parameters hint on input."

And...bam! Auto-Completion for LÖVE API functions in Notepad++. Of course, it's no Visual Studio Intellisense, but it's a lot nicer than having to look up and/or remember all the function names/parameters/return types.

NOTES:
- This file was made for LÖVE 0.6.2, and will need to be updated if/when any API changes are made.
- It only works for the main love.* API functions (like love.graphics.checkMode()), not the prototype functions on objects (like source:isLooping(), etc). If someone can think of a good way to do those, let me know and I'll gladly add them in.
- This lua.xml only includes the LÖVE API functions, not the Lua API functions. If someone knows of a lua.xml out there that has all the Lua API functions with parameters, I'll merge them in with this one.

Anyhow, enjoy! Let me know if you have any tips/problems/suggestions/etc/etc.

EDIT: Updating the file with a fix for functions that have no return value. They should now properly generate function parameter hints, like all the other functions.

This is great, thanks! This is super helpful for someone just starting out with LÖVE.

Thanks for making this.

It also looks like the board ate the attachment. Anyone have a copy?

I went ahead and updated the top post with the re-uploaded file. :]

Just joined and I like this already.
I have been using NPP for my normal routine work and this plugin makes it lovely.

Thank you this is awesome !
I've added a Notepad++ page on the wiki with how to run love code and a link to here.

Now is there a way to highlight these LOVE functions in notepad++ ?

Thank you guys for putting this together, I actually just yesterday set this up and it's been a huge help. Now all I have to do in Notepad++ is press shift + ctrl + b and wazam, instant Love action!

(You VC users will recognize the keybind. )

Here's a lua.xml that has been updated for LÖVE 0.7.2. I don't personally use Notepad++, so I'm not sure if it works or not.
