Well I finally broke down and ended my Makefiles+editor+bash line of C deving and now decided to use an IDE. All I've got are 2 questions now: 1) Is there any way to get SDL headers into the editor, so autocomplete works with SDL functions and structures? 2) Is there a way to get typedef structs to show up under structs inside of symbols?

1) Just import the SDL headers into your project.
2) dunno
