使用编辑器自动完成

Question

I find that the autocompletion capability with the programming editor is a mixed blessing. Sometimes it anticipates correctly, or, when multiple choices might come from what is already typed, it advances to the next logical point, and typing the next expected letter moves it in the right direction. Reaaly sweet when it works right.

However, it often creates the wrong key word and advances all the way to the end, forcing a backspacing process that certainly doesn't add to the coding efficiency. Is there any way to back space word-by-word, or return the cursor to the point from which it jumped forward? That would certainly help.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

To backspace word by word try [Ctrl] + [Backspace]

You can also use [Ctrl] + arrows, [Ctrl] + [Shift] + arrows to respectively move and select word by word

Answer 2

Ctrl + Backspace

In most editors, it backspaces a logical word, using camelCase or under_score notation.

You can also use Ctrl + Left and Ctrl + Right to jump the cursor around a word a time.

Answer 3

As Utaal mentioned, you can use Control+Backspace. Also, in most editors with autocomplete you can hit "escape" before autocomplete has actually selected an entry to cancel it altogether.

Answer 4

如果正确完成了自动完成，则按编辑器的undo键可以撤消错误的自动完成。
