Editor Words Autocompletion Feature

[golyshkin]

Does FAR2M support text autocomplete functionality in editor mode? I guess should be some LUA file, but I can't find it. Please help!

There is Editor Autocomplete plugin that is included in far2m.
I cannot tell if it's good or bad as I'm not using autocomplete in the editor.
Press F11 in the editor, then select it from the Plugins menu and try to use.
It also has a settings dialog that can be invoked by Alt-Shift-F9 from panels (Plugins configuration).

There may be macros for Far3 on its forum for editor autocomplete.
If you find some macro that you think is worth to have in far2m then let me know about it.

Is it static compiled feature or does exist LUA macros which can be used on WIN platform also?

It is plugin written in C++ and is therefore compiled.

Yesterday I also found a macro for autocomplete in editor on far3 forum. It is being investigated now.

The macro was adapted to far2m and now it works on both far3 and far2m.
It can be found here.

I don't understand what this message could be used for (it was posted on 17 Nov, 2022).

By the way, did you try the plugin that was mentioned in my 1-st post?
If yes, what do you think is better: that plugin or the macro?

@shmuz unfortunately, for my current project I am using the WINx64 and FAR v.3.0.5959.0 x64, so can't check yours compiled plugin, but I wanna to say you thank you for support the LUA words autocomplete in FAR2M. I hope that soon my next project will be related to Linux also, so I am very interested to track the RAr2M project, since its my favorite file manager under Linux now :-)

This explains why you got error as on the picture below.
The syntax used for flags is valid only since FAR 3.0.6173.
