Auto Completion

All the input that are created from File Manager has an auto completions system. There is few things that you can change, but let's start with the beginning.

Say you have the following structure:

root/
    img/
        favicon.png

    styles/
        stylus/
            main.styl
        css/
            main.css

    scripts/
        coffee/
            main.coffee
        js/
            main.js

    index.html

If you want to create a new script, you're going to have to type scripts/coffee/mynewscript.coffee. But, if you just type sc and then press tab, you'll see that scripts/ automatically replace the sc, and you can type co press tab, coffee will replace the co. I say replace because it is case insensitive. If you type ST, it will replace it by styles (in lower case).

Here's a little gif to show you:

Note

You might be wondering why I don't need to type the > after the index. It simply because I changed this symbol to a space: . You can do this by change the settings index_folder_separator. Here's where it's documented

Options

• case_sensitive: defines if the completion case sensitive. (default to false)
• complete_with_files_too: If you want the auto completion to use complete with files too (default to true)
• pick_first: only relevant if complete_with_files_too is true. Define what to choose first if at least one folder and one file are available for completion. The valid values: files, folders or null. (default to folders)
