Features

Smart Auto-completions

When the opened file have a recognized and supported file type, and also have language extensions installed, the autocomplete widget will automatically turn on LSP mode, the completions will be handled by registered language server afterwards. LSP mode enables smart and context sensitive code suggestions, as demonstrated below. When there are no language extensions available/installed, autocomplete widget goes to word mode, the completions will not be context sensitive and can be unexpected.
