5.3   Extra word characters

Depending on the kind of words that you type, you may want to adjust BBAutoComplete’s list of word characters. The effects of doing this can be surprising. For example, if you add . (period) as a word character, and your document contains:

foo.html
www.apple.com

Then you will be able to complete:

f

to:

foo.html

or:

w

to:

www.apple.com

On the other hand, if your document contains:

foo.method()

you would not be able to complete:

bar.m

to:

bar.method

because BBAutoComplete will see the foo.method as a single word. When . is not a word character, the method is seen as a separate word, and so it can be used for completion.

If you work a lot with HTML, you could add these word characters:

<>/

and this will make it easier to complete tags.
