I really *like* the dictionary completion, so disabling it would have to be optional. I find the little icons to the left of the completion matches go a long way in helping me quickly choose an appropriate item. >> But long HTML documents can get an awful lot of English (etc.) >> words, which then "crowd out" the tags or attributes and their >> values which, to my mind, overwelms it. > > On a very long document (I was in one that was 10K lines long) the > completion can seriously bog down the process of editing as well. Hmm, I'm not having any problems in this area. When you say "bog down", do you mean a performance issue or that there are simply too many choices in the list? I just tried auto-completion in a log file of some 200K lines and performance seemed perfectly acceptable, although perhaps a bit less responsive than a smaller file. I also had no problem with the number of matches in the list, but maybe that has more to do with the type of content rather than the number of lines. >> I'm also finding that it is offering "words" containing character >> entities, e.g. "that’s", which I'm in two minds about. > > That is one thing that I do like, since otherwise fixing those things > is a matter of an extra grep Yes, I like the current behavior as it is too. >> I can see that this will be a better fit when you don't also have a >> lot of English (or whatever), as in the case of programming in, >> Java, C or whatever, where the words already in the file or project >> are mostly identifiers, etc., which is no doubt the original >> thinking.

While I can see why some might like to be able to turn off dictionary or plain english inclusion, I'm pretty happy with the way it works now. Although, I must admit that I did increase the automatic completion trigger to 1.0 seconds. The default 0.5 was a little too aggressive for my typing style. -Dennis --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BBEdit Talk" group.
