Editing Autocomplete (section)

=== Context completion ===
'''Context completion''' is a text editor feature, similar to word completion, which completes words (or entire phrases) based on the current context and context of other similar words within the same document, or within some training data set. The main advantage of context completion is the ability to predict anticipated words more precisely and even with no initial letters. The main disadvantage is the need of a training data set, which is typically larger for context completion than for simpler word completion. Most common use of context completion is seen in advanced programming language editors and [[Integrated development environment|IDEs]], where training data set is inherently available and context completion makes more sense to the user than broad word completion would.{{cn|date=September 2023}}

'''Line completion''' is a type of context completion, first introduced by Juraj Simlovic in [[TED Notepad]], in July 2006. The context in line completion is the current line, while the current document poses as a training data set. When the user begins a line that starts with a frequently used phrase, the editor automatically completes it, up to the position where similar lines differ, or proposes a list of common continuations.{{cn|date=September 2023}}

'''Action completion''' in applications are standalone tools that add autocomplete functionality to existing applications or all existing applications of an OS, based on the current context. The main advantage of Action completion is the ability to predict anticipated actions. The main disadvantage is the need of a  data set. Most common use of Action completion is seen in advanced programming language editors and [[Integrated development environment|IDEs]]. But there are also action completion tools that work globally, in parallel, across all applications of the entire PC without (very) hindering the action completion of the respective applications.{{cn|date=September 2023}}
