Suggestions as you type
A little list pops up guessing what you are about to type, so you can pick it instead.
When you would want it
It saves typing, and more importantly it saves remembering exact names.
Where to find it
- All Features → Suggestions as you type
- Settings → adcode.editing.suggestions
What you get out of it
- You stop retyping long names - and stop mistyping them.
- The list draws on the language server when one exists, so suggestions are accurate, not guesses.
- Even in languages with no tooling, words already in the file are offered.
How to use it, step by step
- Type - the suggestion list appears after a couple of characters.
- Keep typing to narrow the list; the best match is highlighted.
- Press Tab or Enter to take the highlighted suggestion.
- Press Escape to dismiss the list and keep typing on your own.
- If Enter should mean a new line rather than taking a suggestion, turn off "Accept suggestion with Enter" in Editing settings.
Why this beats the usual way
Out of the box, most editors suggest nothing until you have installed a language extension. ADCode falls back to suggesting real words from your file, then quietly upgrades to full language intelligence when a server is available - useful at zero configuration, sharper with it.
