I’ve been scripting for alot of years and one of many things i find annoying is how i gotta type the service name again like for example
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

It gets annoying overtime and makes me not want to script so i’ve made a plugin that makes my life easier and thought it might make your life easier as well if you have the same problem

The plugin is called QuickService and what it does is basically if your editing a script and wish to get a service fast with the full name and everything all you have to do is type 2 colons like this :: and it shows a list of services you can pick and if you wish to pick something specific you can add onto the name for example ::replicated and then it’ll show replicatedstorage and replicatedfirst.

If you don’t like the shortcut of a specific service that’s fine too! you can change the shortcut of any service to whatever you want but it absolutely has to be atleast 3 characters long so the intellisense works

If you want to add your own custom code snippets you can also do that by going to the tab called Custom Snippets and press the + button and then you’ll have your own custom snippet that you can edit and works also with intellisense

It can be useful and save you alot of time when writing alot of services but it won’t be any use to a fast typer

If the plugin is missing any services or you find any bugs or wish to see more features, please let me know!

Hey, this looks cool. Here are some features you could work on in the future:

  • Let us create custom code blocks that can be used with the plugin.
  • Let us customize the variable names, so someone wants the variable name rs instead of ReplicatedStorage when they type out the shortcut.

Those would be absolutely killer features that would vastly improve your plugin and boost productivity.

So it’s literally just Autocomplete+ but uses 2 colons instead of 1?

This plugin is more featureful than my plugin (Autocomplete+) and although it achieves part of the same thing I wouldn’t consider it copying at all. Besides, my plugin is not achieving an original goal either, it’s essentially a free version of Sleitnick’s plugin: Require Autocomplete.

Why can’t you make one module script with every service in the game and then assign variables to them every script
