Autocomplete...

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

Autocomplete...

Post by Joris »

Hi,

I searched for this in the preferences settings but didn't find some check for this.

To use a word out of the 'autocomplete list' it must be selected with the mouse.
Can't this be done simply by a press enter key after it is selected (with up and down arrows).
Handy I find, as then all can be done without use of the mouse.

Thanks.
Yeah I know, but keep in mind ... Leonardo da Vinci was also an autodidact.

You can use enter to select the autocomplete word if you wish, but you need to change it in your preferences first. IIRC the default is tab.

What do you mean? I never use the mouse to use autocomplete.
Microsoft Visual Basic only lasted 7 short years: 1991 to 1998.
PureBasic: Born in 1998 and still going strong to this very day!

I didn't know that the default key is the tab. That's already closer to what I asked.
Yet you say even the 'enter key' can be used, how then ?
(I don't see any setting for that on the preferences.)

It's not in the Autocomplete -section of preferences, but in General -> Shortcuts. I don't have access to the IDE right now, hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong...
