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 ides 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.
