Ease of Programming help!
Hello everyone!
Sorry that the title isn't as descriptive as I usually try to make, but I don't really know how to phrase the question. I am currently programming in JavaScript, using the built in Unity editor to work on my scripts.
What program, preferably free, would you guys recommend I use? I want something that can auto complete my code and make it easier to find bits of code. Right now the Unity interface for editing allows me to auto-complete words that I had already type, but I want something where if I type 'Time.' it will give me a little drop down list of all the different things I could put in that situation.
I hope this makes sense, and thanks!

MonoDevelop comes with unity as well, but isn't set up as the default editor.
I would set that to the default script editor in preferences (The install is in the unity editor install location), and then you'll have code completion
OOO I did not know that. Wonder why its not set to default. I'll give that guy a shot!
Not entirely sure, but it works pretty well for both c# and js, so a nice editor all around.
I tried it, but sadly it did not go as well as I had hoped. While it auto-completes some words, its not all. For instance, it would autocomplete Vector3, but then when I wanted to add .forward, it has no completion. Also, my variable names do not get auto-completed anymore. Switched back to normal editor :(
$$anonymous$$ake sure that you sync your project with monodevelop (right click a script file > Sync with monodevelop). If you don't do this, it won't update the autocompletion properly. At my end Vector3. brings up a list of stuff, forward included, and my variables autocomplete just fine
That makes sense! I thought there might be an issue with some kind of syncing, but didn't know how it worked. Thanks!

Unify has a few how-to about setting up Visual Studio, Dreamweaver, NotePad++ or some other editors with IntelliSense.
