Variable/Word Completion
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2012 10:56 am
Hi all.
Something that Notepad++ has which I find useful is word completion.
For example, if writing a script, when I type:
myVariable
particleId
particlePos
If I want to reuse the word but can't remember how it was written, instead of looking for it I could press a hotkey (for example, alt & enter) and a list would appear with words I'd written.
Using the above words, with NP++, if I started to type myV and press Ctrl & Enter a box appears with 'myVariable'. If I type par, a box appears with 'particleId & particlePos'.
You get the idea.
Maybe a feature could be brought in where when the user starts to re-type a word a symbol appears saying there is a matching word in the list.
