Word Autocomplete
return to introduction  previous page  next page
As you type each word, the program can provide you with a list of known words that begin with those characters.

How Word Auto complete works
Once you type enough valid characters to equal or exceed the Minimum Character Threshold, the word list is searched for all known words beginning with those characters. If any exist, the Word Autocomplete window will be displayed. If no word in the word list begins with the characters you've typed, no window will be displayed.

Installing Dictionaries
In order to use the Word Autocomplete feature, you will need files with extension dic (for example, "words.dic") in the main folder where the program resides (its install directory).


Minimum character threshold – the number of characters of a word to type before the Word Autocomplete window is displayed.

Number of displayed words – the number of displayed words in the Word Autocomplete window.

Appearance delay (msec)
- the delay between the moment the valid characters are typed and the moment the Word Autocomplete window appears.

Add space after completed word - automatically types a space character after you've used word completion. This can be very handy in that you don't need to click on the
Space key.

Learn commonly used words – save commonly used words in the file "custom.dic".

Show numbers – display shortcuts in the left side of the Word Autocomplete window.

Dictionaries - the dictionaries are ASCII files that may be edited directly.

Read/Refresh word list - use this button after editing dictionary.
