{{#headline:Edit menu|Complete Word (Ctrl+Space)}}

Tries to complete current word according to dictionary calculated from the current document.

Takes the word just before the caret as a pattern and then searches the entire document for any suitable words, which begin with such pattern. Suitable words are {{defined|uniqued}} and either auto-completed or displayed in a {{dialog|Complete Word}} list to be chosen for completion.

Note: The document must already contain word {{string|hello}} to be able to complete {{string|hel}} to {{string|hello}}. No external dictionary is currently used.

Note: No selection is allowed. If invoked inside a word, only the preceding part of this word is taken as a pattern.

=====Longest auto-completion=====

By default, if there is more than one word suitable for completion, but all suitable words share a common continuation part, it is automatically completed and no list is brought up. This can, of course, be turned off by {{field|Settings:Edit|Complete Word: Longest auto-completion}} setting in the {{feature|Settings}} dialog. If turned off, the {{dialog|Complete Word}} list always appears, as long as there are at least two suitable words. See chapter [[Edit page]] of the {{dialog|Settings}} dialog.

{{tip}} Longest auto-completion can be superior over displaying list, if desired words appear in many morphemes. Type the first few letters, then use the auto-completion to roll out the common root of the word, then type in the suffix. It is usually a bit faster to type the suffix then choosing it from a list. Also, completion dialogs and word lists tend to slow users down, since one's focus is constantly diverted from the text itself to the dialogs. Using longest auto-completion reduces the need for dialogs with word list, as long as one is eager to type after each longest auto-completion use.

{{tip}} Longest auto-completion can become quite a good friend in programming code. Suppose you use function names a lot, which tend to share common parts of names, e.g. {{string|ListPlayers}}, {{string|ListEnemies}}, {{string|ListPlaymates}}. Type {{string|L}} and have it quickly auto-completed to {{string|List}}. Then type {{string|E}} and have it finished to {{string|ListEnemies}} — that's only 4 keystrokes. Or type {{string|P}} and have the {{string|List}} auto-completed to {{string|ListPlay}}. Then with either {{string|e}} or {{string|m}} finalize it to {{string|ListPlayers}} or {{string|ListPlaymates}} respectively — that's still only 6 keystrokes. Longest auto-completion is much smarter and faster than choosing from lists every time.

=====Ignoring Case=====

Suitable words are chosen in {{defined|case sensitive}} way by default. This can, however, be modified by {{field|Settings:Edit|Complete Word: Ignore Case}} setting in the {{feature|Settings}} dialog. See chapter [[Edit page]] of the {{dialog|Settings}} dialog.

Note: Suitable words are always {{defined|uniqued}} in a {{defined|case sensitive}} way, even if {{field|Settings:Edit|Complete Word: Ignore Case}} setting is turned on. Thus both {{string|Hello}} and {{string|hello}} might appear in the {{dialog|Complete Word}} list.

=====Sort suggestions=====

Suitable words appear in the {{dialog|Complete Word}} list in the same order, in which they are found within the document, while going up from the caret position. E.g. If typing {{string|what a word can do to the world}} and then trying to complete {{string|w}} in the next sentence, suitable words would appear as: {{string|world}}, {{string|word}} and {{string|what}}. To sort suitable words alphabetically, use the {{field|Settings:Edit|Complete Word: Sort suggestions}} setting in the {{feature|Settings}} dialog. See chapter [[Edit page]] of the {{dialog|Settings}} dialog.
