Using external Text Editor

@oskarsh I love your idea.

@oskarsh said in Using external Text Editor:

Mainly just a "reload and compile" function that we can bind to a shortcut?

I think a file watcher would be better, no need to hit a button manually. Just save the external file and the changes will be there in HISE.

@d-healey I love that idea, too.

@oskarsh @d-healey My keyword list only the HISE Script keywords—a list of API keywords would be fantastic. How are you handling that when using an external editor?

[oskarsh]

@d-healey you are right!

I am trying to get my Christmas Presents in time tho. Not sure Christoph has the prime delivery for a file watcher :D

So a button would do for the beginning. A file watcher would be the better solution but more work to get it right.

This one is the industry standard btw:
