Can textpad have autocomplete for methods of a cla

[smithaa02]

I'm using java 1.2 and was wondering if, as I was writing the code if textpad would recognize a class that I wrote followed by a period and if it would offer me a drop down box like many RADs (like visual basic)? So if I type like "Math." it would would give me a popup list which I could highlight like Pi or ignore and keep typing.

As Textpad is not a java-editor, this is (at the moment) not possible.
And I don't think it will be in near future - Textpad is used for too many programming languages (see the number of syntax files in the Add-Ons) and it would be very hard for the people at Helios to implement such a thing for all languages.

If it were addressed in the same way as Syntax Definition files, it might not be too difficult... simply allow an easy way to build the definitions oneself, then users can create them for the majority of languages. Helios could bundle a few with TextPad, and rely on the downloads section to distribute the rest as they are submitted.
