Show suggestions when typing?
duzenko:
Is there any way to get suggestions show when typing without having to Ctrl+Space every single word?
Eugene Loza:
I think this is what you are looking for:
Martin_fr:
Tools > Opions.
Codetools > Identifier Completion
There is a checkbox (top of the page): "Automatically invoke on typing"
You can make it, that it only opens when you make a brief pause while typing (but no dot required) "Use completion box delay".
Or leave that unchecked, and always get it.
You can set it, that you must type at least n letters into a word.
-----
You may want to also check "Include all keywords and operators".
So you also get "begin", "end", "repeat", ...., "and", "or", ...

Thanks, this is it
It's a little frustrating that it's not on by default - and there's two separate options tabs for it
Martin_fr:
I agree some options (including this one) are hard to find, due to being split across pages.
There is some internal issue that (afaik) prevents to "just move the checkbox to the other frame" . Though I might be wrong.
Not everyone likes that feature, I had other editors that had it on by default - and I spent a lot of time figuring out how to disable it (or find an alternative editor).
