How do you select an item from the autocomplete IDE?

I was expecting that pressing ENTER would do it but it just hides the list without writing anything.

This can be changed in the preferences.

Thanks, i think ENTER is more intuitive but if i try to change it in the shortcuts it says Nothing can you change it?

I agree with you, Enter is more intuitive for me too. The reason you can't set Enter as default is because there is some issues with the new ShortcutGadget in 4.40 that the IDE uses. See here: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 697#295697

Until that is resolved you can simply edit the PureBasic.prefs file and change AutoCompleteConfirm so it reads "AutoCompleteConfirm = 13".
