Questions about ModBuddy

[YohanLeafheart]

Ok everyone, I started messing around with ModBuddy today, pretty nice, although I have a few question about things that may or may not be possible, and if so I couldn't find. My main IDE is Eclipse PDT and there are some things I use there that I would like to know if I can find here:

1. Function parameters on mouse over - The name says it all, you mouse over a function name and it will give the parameters, and documentation for it;
2. Click Function name to go to function definition - In Eclipse the shortuct is CTRL + LeftClick, but basically you use it to go to where the function is defined. If it is on another file it opens that file for you and goes to the correct line;
3. Find resource name on current project - On Eclipse, CTRL + SHIFT + R opens a screen where you can type a file name and it searches on the current project so you can open it;
4. Folding Shortcut - Since I see that there is folding, I expect that there is some kind of shortcut for it. But I couldn't fin.

Thanks for the help

To answer your questions:

1. Currently there is no Intellisense enabled in ModBuddy, but it is available in Visual Studio Isolated Shell, so it is a matter of Firaxis enabling it and including a Lua IntelliSense database for their API. Though since ModBuddy is extensible (using the VS SDK) it is possible for the community to implement an extension for this as well, once we have the API figured out...
2. See above
3. See above
4. The shortcut is ctrl-M, ctrl-M (Yes, twice. You can edit it by going to Tools -> Options -> Keyboard and changing the key combination for Edit.ToggleOutliningExpansion)

Where, exactly, can I find modbuddy?

In Steam, go to your LIBRARY page, then TOOLS, then scroll down the list to Sid Meier's Civilization V SDK. Right click it and select Install... Once done double-click it and you'll see a menu of four tools appear: ModBuddy, WorldBuilder, Nexus, and FireTuner.

Oh, and as I just learned you need to download and install Microsoft's free Visual Studio 2010 Shell.
