Well, Vim7's autocompletion already allows this. Earlier versions of vim also allowed similar behavior, but (AFAIK) didn't have a nice way to cancel the suggestion or to accept the suggestion without an additional character (or leaving insert mode). In Vim7, you can abort your current ^P/^N completion with ^E (to regain just what you typed, minus the current completion/suggestion) or you can accept it with ^Y (which won't add an extra character), or you can just continue typing to accept the completion, and then add the character you typed (such as space, period, etc). Other editors/IDEs may have similar functionality... -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
