Hi All

This is sort of a general IDE question that involves Geany. Just what
exactly is "code completion" and what does it refer to in the Geany IDE?

I ask because I was hoping for something like Microsoft's Intellisense
where as you type a function or tag name (or whatever) a box appears where
you can select from a list of possible completions (like in Bluefish). In
Geany (win95) I get nothing, no hints - no completion - just what I type,
so I'm not sure what to expect when looking for the "code completion"
feature.

Thanks

Which version of Geany, which programming language?

Thanks. On my Ubuntu box at home it's version 0.19.1 where it does work for
php [?]. I'll have to get back to work tomorrow where I have the Win95
install. Is there maybe a configuration option that I missed?

Sorry - I must have had a brain freeze - it seems to be there. I did change
the option for 'number of letters to type' down to 2 from 4. Maybe I wasn't
typing enough to see the obvious.

Thanks for the help.

Geany works on Windows 95? What version of Geany are you using?

But to answer your question, yes, it's supposed to work like you are
expecting, at least with any reasonably recent version of Geany.
