Описание тега code-completion

Refers to an IDE or editor feature that attempts to predict what you will type next based on context, speeding up code entry.

Code completion is a form of autocomplete used by ide s or code oriented editors showing possible completions to a partially written code.

Common elements in many implementations:

  • Related keyboard shortcuts to simplify usage (invocation, choice selection)
  • Flexible configuration to:
    • Enable/disable the feature
    • Change response time
    • Associated shortcuts

Example: Netbeans guide has a Smart Code Completion section with pictures that show a common way used to implement this feature.
