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.
