Hi,

may be that I'm blind but is there a 'Word completion' feature in
eclipse? Something like CTRL-P and CTRL-N in Vim editor(insert mode) or
CTRL-K and CTRL-L in Netbeans.
I believe that I missed something but I'm not able to find it anywhere.
I found some plugin for 2.x version but there was not version for 3.0. I
think it would be nice to have this feature directly in the core JDT.

Thanks,
m.

PS: I know about code completion, but word completion would be very
usefull for strings, javadoc, xml documents and so on (at least for me :) )

For the Java editor you can make the spelling dictionary available in
the content assist i.e. you can then use Ctrl+Space to add and/or
complete words which are in your dictionary.

There's also a PR asking to support emacs-style hippie auto-completion
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=11668).

It's a little different to what I mean but I didn't know even this. I
will try it.

Quoting your words:
"There are no plans to include this for 3.0 except we get an external
contribution."

Ok, I will be waiting for the ONE who get this feature to work :) (I'm
not able to do it by myself for now).

Thanks for the answer

Check out the Editor Enhancements portion of the Lunar Eclipse plugin
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/lunar-eclipse/).

It includes a keystroke (Alt-/) for emacs style completion
(unidirectional unfortunately, I wish it was like Vim).

Thanks a lot. This is exactly what I've been looking for.

I agree. But CTRL-N is already reserved in the core IDE. Anyway, works
perfectly for me.
