Serviceful

Saves you so much time you’ll be thankful (see what I did there :wink:)

About

I originally created this plugin, frankly, because I suck at typing. I was born with one hand which makes me unable to type very accurately. I’ve been using this plugin on my own for about a month or so and it’s improved my coding speed significantly, so I decided to polish it up a bit and have a full release so everyone can enjoy it.

Using the Plugin

I tried to make the plugin as user-friendly and as simple to use as possible. To use the plugin, just start typing two left brackets. Studio’s editor should wrap those brackets, with your cursor being right in the middle. From there, start typing the service’s name. Once you see the desired service, just press enter and the variable will be auto-filled.

You’ll also find two buttons. The first button, register, can be used to register the auto-completions if previously unregistered or to update (deregistering & registering) them if need be. The second button is pretty self-explanatory, deregister, all it does is deregister all of the auto-completions. Note: to completely deregister all auto-completions and to fully uninstall the plugin, make sure to disable the plugin after deregestering

Limitations

The services on the plugin are not exhaustive (not all are included, most are). If you find a service that isn’t on there, please contact me on discord @airttq.

That’s cool I’ll try it out, I’m sure this will improve my coding speed.

#3

Awesome, can you show how you did this with ScriptEditorService? I don’t really understand how all the autocomplete callbacks work :sweat_smile:

#4

I still don’t understand it that much, you can try and look at the source to see if that helps.

I thought was cool and went to try it, but I’ve found that having it in use slows down the autocomplete prompt.

When I press the Register button, the autocomplete prompt is slow to responding, resulting in coding feeling sluggish. Deregistering reverts this and makes autocomplete as fast as it usually would be.

Yeah, that does make sense as how roblox’s autocomplete works is that anytime it registers a callback, it runs each one to determine whether to add it. In the callback function, it checks to see if there are brackets in front to prevent the autocompletion from popping up when you don’t want them to. I updated the plugin to have some changes, like taking out less frequently used services, please try again and see if that helped :smile:

It’s definitely faster now to a point where I can efficiently use normal autocomplete alongside the plugin!

Thank you!
