i have also selected 3, could have been that you selected 5 or higher, thats why i said that.

if thats not the case then maybe you have not enabled the winapi listing in auto complete or hell, there could be so many reasons and i really dont want to search for all of them. the fact is PB has that problem, i have that problem and we are not the only ones for sure. if you dont have that problem for some reason, be lucky.

Personally I'd like Ctrl+Enter as well, but I'd like Ctrl+Enter to act as a normal enter and enter to autocomplete if the list is open.

I've also ENabled WinApi, so I can see the API-function that was quoted by PB.
So far I can see, I've the same settings like you, but here it works.

OK, then I'm lucky now...

no, I'm against that.

the autocomplete on pressing return is something that breaks my fluent typing,
and I bet I'm not the only one.

for me it also would be ok if autocomplete only worked on TAB,
and RETURN does not autocomplete at all, regardless if with or without CTRL.

but, as a compromise:
what about a FLAG in the Options to determine what RETURN will do?

like in ICQ, you can set a FLAG there whether RETURN inserts a newline or sends the message....

I loved the RETURN on Autocomplete. :/

So just set it back. It's not gone forever.

How?

File -> Preferences -> General -> Shortcuts -> Insert the selected AutoComplete word = Return

Thanks, nco2k.
I was looking at the wrong preferences tabs.
