Word Completion(Alt+/) [message #1384759]

I have a long file(about 4000 lines) and Word Completion(Alt+/) is quite slow.

Obviously it's doing something more than just "look around" the current line and find a decent match.

What exactly does it do? I want TRUELY dumb but snappy fast Word Completion. How do I do that?

Many thanks.

maybe you can also profit of an external standalone tool (in Windows) such as >> www.strokey.net << to complete words, you already wrote before. For example if you write >> var MyLongNumber = 123456; << you can reuse the name of the new var by typing >> MyL << and press the user defined key such as >> ^ << or >> ° << or whatever to complete it.
You can also define abbreviations like >> pc=public+class <<. Your keystrokes will be recorded in the background and you can insert >> public class << through writing only >> pc << and press the defined key such as >> ^° <<.
(Another way to define abbreviations would be the syntax of >> pc§public&class <<, if you prefer.)
This tool is an independent background process and then you can reuse your written words in nearly every program (Word, Notepad++, Browsers, Visual Studio ...). It helps to document source code and by adding remarks.
