Scite Auto Expansion

wiki

Typing

if |

becomes

if (|) {

and

for |

becomes

for (|; ; ) {

The "|" indicates cursor position before and after the expansion.

Expansion only occurs when the open file has a c or header file extension. The script also recognizes when you are typing in a commented section and will not auto-expand.
