Is this a suggestion for the key that completes the currently-being-typed
word with the current selection in the autocomplete list, or a suggestion
for the key that pops up the list?
If the latter, fine, anything will do for me :-)
If the former, can I please suggest that auto-completes (ie, filling in the
rest of the word) get triggered by:
* space
* .
* -
* any other class/method/pointer character construct from other languages
(here, I'm referring to how things get associated - . in C# is similar to ->
in C is similar to :: in C++ kind of thing - different constructs for
different languages, and you might want to type them each in the log since
there's no guarantee that you're only using one language).
It's more natural to me to simply type, see the list, arrow-key as/if
necessary, and then continue typing my sentence (or . if it's the last
word), rather than have a specific hotkey. The word I want is already
highlighted, sometimes through positive action on my part - why do I have to
reinforce that by pressing a hotkey, in effect confirming what I've already
picked? That's roughly the equivalent of an "are you sure" popup on every
auto-completed word.
Perhaps it could be possible to have a textbox in the options, that lists
the keys that trigger autocompletion, that could be prepopulated according
to user preferences? I would prefer to lean to having lots of keys that
trigger auto-completing, though, rather than the one for confirming what's
picked.
Or is this not possible with the control?
