BBAutoComplete adds word auto-completion to Affrus, BBEdit, Mailsmith, Microsoft Word, Script Debugger, Smile, Tex-Edit Plus, and TextWrangler. You type the start of a word, press a key, and BBAutoComplete types the letters to complete the word. If BBAutoComplete guessed wrong, you can keep pressing the key to cycle through other possible completions. Other auto-completion utilities need to be taught the abbreviations and expansions that you use; BBAutoComplete avoids this hassle by automatically looking for expansions in the program's open documents. This means that it always suggests completions that are relevant to your current task. BBAutoComplete is probably most useful for programmers, who need to remember and type long variable and method names, but it can also help with prose writing. It's useful any time you need to type long words quickly and accurately.

BBEdit 9 has a built-in auto-completion feature, however BBAutoComplete is preferable in some ways. Depending where your cursor is, BBEdit may ignore potential completions, even if the words appear just a few lines away in the same document. BBAutoComplete consistently shows the same completions, and it prefers words from the same document to words from the dictionary. It's also case-sensitive, to narrow the list to the most relevant completions.

What is new in this release:

BBAutoComplete now supports the Hardened Runtime on macOS 10.14 and later.
BBAutoComplete is now notarized by Apple.
Fixed a bug where the front-window-only script for BBEdit reported an error.
The About window now includes a link to the privacy policy and has an updated layout.
Improved support for Dark Mode.
Improved the diagnostic report.
Updated to Xcode 10.3.

What is new in version 1.6:

BBAutoComplete now supports Dark Mode on macOS 10.14.
Added support for Hiding the Dock Icon.
Fixed a bug where BBEdit 12 would report an error if you invoked BBAutoComplete while a palette was open.
Improved the Extra word characters and Requirements sections of the manual.

What is new in version 1.5.5:

What is new in version 1.5.4:

  • Added support for TextWrangler 4. Also, completion now works in TextWrangler search results browser windows.
  • BBAutoComplete now has an automatic keyboard shortcut in Microsoft Word 2011. (Previous versions of Word need FastScripts to assign a shortcut.)
  • BBAutoComplete now runs as 64-bit under Mac OS X 10.6 and later, which should make it launch faster.
  • BBAutoComplete is now code-signed using a Developer ID certificate for Gatekeeper.
  • Modernized the Software Update window and code.

  • Updated the disk image and Apple Help layouts.
