Modding process optimizing

[Geekob]

Hi there,
I recently started modding using modbuddy. I made few unit changes, new technologies and so on. I pretty much understand how to add/remove/edit stuff but I feel like Im doing things inefficiently. I mean there is no whispering or autofilling, nor error/warning detecting. I feel like coding in notepad. I recently started scripting in lua and there is the same thing. I really dont want to type literally everything with only syntax highlighting.
Do you guys use some third party softs? Or are there some plugins/tools for modbuddy I dont know about?

Thanks for answers,

I hope you're not using ModBuddy for artdef files. The correct tool for those is Asset Editor – About 5 times clearer and quicker.
