Word Autocomplete

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext 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 folder "Data 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. You can right-click on the word when you don't need to add a space character.

 

Show numbers – display shortcuts in the left side of the Word Autocomplete window. You can paste a word with a numeric key.

 

Do not show words with 1 character remaining – do not show almost finished words.

 

 

Dictionaries

 

Learn new words – save commonly used words in the file "custom.dic". Note: Words entered by users are recorded in UTF-8 format.

 

Confirmation of the addition of words to the custom dictionary – show window with confirmation of adding new word to the file "custom.dic".

 

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

 

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

 

 

Tips and tricks

 

You can remove the word directly from the autocompletion list by highlighting the unnecessary word and then pressing Delete key.
