Question about auto-complete

[Rich Dersheimer]

I'm new to PureBasic and liking it a lot.

Question: when I'm typing in some code, and the auto-complete suggests one or more commands, how do I get the command I want to actually be used? If I down arrow to the command I want, and hit the ENTER key, I'm expecting the command to complete, but instead I get a new line and the command is NOT completed. I've been double clicking the command I want, and that does work, but it seems very awkward to have to take my hand off the keyboard and click the command twice. Is there a better way to do this?

TIA,
Rich

Press the Tab key instead of Enter.

TAB key

And welcome to PureBasic

You can change it to use the Return key in Preferences > General > Shortcuts > 'Insert the selected AutoComplete word'

Thanks guys for the quick response! I will use the TAB key for sure.

I have change to 'Enter'

And by pressing Tab twice, the completion adds the matching keyword
(Procedure EndProcedure, Enumeration EndEnumeration etc)
Very usefull

If not, change:
Preferences > File > AutoComplete > [X] Add matching 'End' keyword...

I also prefer the [Enter] key.

Nice! I wasn't aware of that. Thank you.
