word autocompletion

Hello

Xyplorer should consider offering support for programmers; for example, when typing directory and file paths, allow autocompletion of common words like script.js or index.html, perhaps with pop-up suggestions or the TAB key.

It already has support for directory autocompletion?

And for "common" files, either script an optimized "New" variant (as I did) or create them with your IDE / editor...

1: Regarding the autocomplete function, when typing the drive letter associated with a partition, it doesn't autocomplete. For example, when typing C, it should display 'C:\' simply to avoid having to press colon (:) + Alt + 92 (\).

2: Autocomplete should end with the backslash symbol (\).

3: In the settings:

Autocomplete path names
Address bar
Search file location

It's very useful that there's a field next to this option to enter autocomplete keywords, and that by default, some very common ones like the ones I mentioned above are displayed.

For a reason, you could also want to type documents to get into that user folder^^

Holy cow... It's an IDE^^ It makes sense that it can autocomplete these names it has templates for but XY is an all-purpose file manager *sigh*

If Don ever decides to autocomplete "common" names like "script.js" he can unlock this thread...
