  <title>Autocompletion and calltips</title>

<section>
<title>Autocompletion</title>
<p>Autocompletion automatically suggests functions and other code symbols after
you start typing by trying to match existing symbols with the first characters typed.
It will popup a drop-down menu where you can select a match by using the
<key>Enter</key> key. Normally this happens automaticly after you typed the third
(non-whitespace) character but you can also
force it by using the <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Auto-Complete</gui></guiseq>
menu item.
</p>
<note>
<p>Anjuta supports autocompletion for code written in C/C++, Vala, Javascript
and Python. Note that autocompletion can only work if anjuta knows about the
symbols used. If you are using C/C++ libraries that are
not configured using <cmd>pkg-config</cmd> and/or not added to the project
configuration, anjuta won't be able to find those
symbols and autocompletion might not work.
</p>
<p>In addition some syntax might be too complex for the integrated parser and
it might not be able to detect which completion is required</p>

<title>Effective coding using calltips</title>

<p>As it is usually quite hard to remember the signature of every method or function
used in a project, the editor will automatically display a small tooltip whenever
you type '(' after a function name and show you the signature.</p>
