Indeed. Maybe we should add some information about this. What is worth to be mentioned? - the configurable keybinding to trigger an auto-completion list (Ctrl-Space) or by typing more than 4 characters (also configurable) - hiding the list with Escape or with any non-matching character - selecting an item with Space/Tab/Mouse click - special auto-completion when using Ctrl-Space which contains not only known symbols, but also all matching words of the current document, if enabled - special '.' / '->' auto-completions - what else? If anyone of you is bored enough, a patch with some text would be cool :). Regards, Enrico -- Get my GPG key from http://www.uvena.de/pub.asc
