[[Category:Settings:Editor]]
This branch of configuration contains the following options.

<h2 class="setting">Allow low ASCII values to be entered (usually control codes)</h2>
This setting allows the input of low ASCII value characters like as control codes while editing. Normally these are ignored.

<h2 class="setting">Load/restore printer settings</h2>
The editor will communicate with the printer driver when it loads and shuts down to preserve and restore settings. If a network printer is set as the default printer and not available (or on a latent network) this may cause a delay on startup while the editor tries to find the printer on the network. If this option is not selected then the editor will not communicate with the printer.

<h2 class="setting">ESC key hides output window when visible</h2>
If this option is selected the output window may be dismissed by pressing the Escape key if the output window has focus.

<h2 class="setting">Grouped undo</h2>
If this option is selected undo will be executed on a word-by-word rather than character-by-character basis. If this setting is toggled during the editing of a document (and the undo buffer is partially created with both settings) the undo functionality will reflect the settings in place at the time the document was created. This could cause part of the text in a file to be undone as grouped characters and part to be undone character-by-character.

<h2 class="setting">Auto-save modified documents when application loses focus</h2>
If this option is selected all modified documents will be saved when focus shifts to another application.

<h2 class="setting">Preserve leading spaces when joining lines</h2>
If this option is selected, leading spaces will be retained when the join lines command is executed.

-<h2 class="setting">Load/restore printer settings</h2>
+<h2 class="setting">Show auto-complete dialog automatically</h2>
-The editor will communicate with the printer driver when it loads and shuts down to preserve and restore settings.  If a network printer is set as the default printer and not available (or on a latent network) this may cause a delay on startup while the editor tries to find the printer on the network.  If this option is not selected then the editor will not communicate with the printer.
+This setting causes the auto-complete popup dialog to be shown automatically as you type instead of waiting for you to manually invoke it.  The default setting is for this not to be shown (unchecked).  If desired, you can specify a minimum number of characters that must be typed before the auto-complete dialog is displayed.
-<h2 class="setting">ESC key hides output window when visible</h2>
+If this option is enabled and '''when 3 chars are typed''' is configured (which is the default), then (for example) typing "if" in a JavaScript file does not result in auto-suggesting the language template named "if".  You would need to press Ctrl + Spacebar to open the auto-completion list and press Tab to insert the template.  This is the designed behavior.  With auto-complete enabled the auto-suggest templates feature is replaced by the auto-complete feature.
-<h2 class="setting">Grouped undo</h2>
+<h2 class="setting">Sort matches by case</h2>
-If this option is selected undo will be executed on a word-by-word rather than character-by-character basis.  If this setting is toggled during the editing of a document (and the undo buffer is partially created with both settings) the undo functionality will reflect the settings in place at the time the document was created.  This could cause part of the text in a file to be undone as grouped characters and part to be undone character-by-character.
+When this option is selected, the auto-complete list is sorted according to case when displayed; that is, UPPERCASE auto-complete items are all displayed before lowercase auto-complete items.  If this option is not selected, words displayed in the auto-complete dialog are sorted alphabetically without any regard to case.
-<h2 class="setting">Auto-save modified documents when application loses focus</h2>
+<h2 class="setting">List only exact case matches</h2>
-If this option is selected all modified documents will be saved when focus shifts to another application.
+When this option is selected, only exact matches for the typed string will be shown in the auto-complete dialog.  The order in which these items are sorted depends on the '''Sort matches by case''' setting.
-<h2 class="setting">Preserve leading spaces when joining lines</h2>
+<h2 class="setting">List exact case matches first</h2>
-If this option is selected, leading spaces will be retained when the join lines command is executed.
+When this option is selected, the auto-complete dialog will promote exact matches for the typed string to the top of the auto-complete list.
