Title: Type ahead / autocompletion
Post by: FutureCow on 2009-Jan-20
IDEal (for B3D) has a great type ahead feature that I'd love to see in the GLBasic IDE. If you type "fun" for example, it will show you that the letters "fun" mean that you're most likely writing the word "function". If you press tab at this point, it will auto-complete the word, writing the word "function" for you.
It will also type ahead user variables and types - a very handy and timesaving IDE feature.

Cool! That makes things a lot easier! Is there a way to make it show that list of possibilities constantly as you type rather than when you hit cntl-space?

In that case I request a switch for those that don't want it :-)
