Hi

Thanks for that! But I am REALLY after something more professional and intuitive. Let's use C as an example. I want to type:

if (execl(childpath, childpath, wparm, (char *) 0) < 0)               err_sys("execl error");     

(sorry about the formatting)

I would like:

when I type "if" I get "if (" and when I have typed "if (execl" I get "if (execl(char *, char *, parm, " etc.

In other words, not only keyword completion; but more than that (call it parm prompting etc. Also it would be nice to have context sensitive scoping. By that I mean, using an OOP language, you would have a drop-down list of object references available that were valid for the current scope.

I know that this is probably not clear to anyone but myself.

PS I would also like this without having to press (CNTR+Alt+Backspace+PGDwn+N - a minimum of keys - say tab)
