Hello all!
I use Sublime Text 3 as external editor for Lua code. After sometime use I created for Sublime Text 3 with LuaExtended plugin full autocomplete for Defold API.
For use you need Sublime Text 3 with LuaExtended Plugin
http://www.sublimetext.com/3 - Sublime
https://packagecontrol.io/packages/LuaExtended - plugin
After install Sublime and Plugin you need replace LuaExtended.sublime-package(for windows this packege located in \AppData\Roaming) my version.
Link for download modified packege - https://www.dropbox.com/s/ijtxet59hfhf2r9/LuaExtended.sublime-package?dl=0 (Plugin under MIT license)
After start Sublime you can use Defold API autocomplete.
For good work with Defold LUA scripts you need in Sublime goto “View menu->Syntax->Open all with current extension as …” and select LuaExtended for .script and .gui_script files!
Due to the limitations of the plugin you need to type commands with “_”, but not to the “.”. For example, to use the functions GameObjects, you need to start typing go_, then you see a list of all available functions for working with GameObjects (go_get_position for example). After you select need function, you press Enter and see right function format(for our example go.get_position([id])).
All start prefix same from API Defold documentation (crash,gui, go,sys,profiler,render,resource,sys,window,collectionfactory,collectionproxy,physics,factory,label,model,particlefx,sound,spine,sprite,tilemap,buffer,hash,html5,image,json,msg,vmath,zlib,facebook,iap,iac,push and webview)
I make special addons for standart messages. For example you enter go_msg_enable and after press enter you see msg.post(’#my_component’, ‘enable’). If message sent back you receive only message. For example you enter “collectionproxy_proxy_loaded” and receieve “proxy_loaded”
All macros for messages:

PS: I patched BracketHighlighter plugin for correct select If end, for end and etc blocks for LuaExtended(plugin under MIT License too)
Install by same path about install LuaExtended
