# /complete

Usage:

/COMPLETE [type]

When a part of a word is typed, and then /complete is called (from a keybinding), it will attempt to fill in the rest of the word. The possible words it chooses from depend on type. If no type is given, it completes from context: it will choose the type of completion based on earlier parts of the line being typed, plus previous input history. For example, if the line begins with "/connect", it will use worldname completion; if the word begins with "%" or "%{", it will use variable name completion; etc.

The following table lists the meanings and the default keybindings for each type.

        Keys		Type		Meaning
        ----		----		-------
        ^[^I (ESC TAB)			complete word depending on context
        ^[^W		worldname	complete tf world name
        ^[$			macroname	complete tf macro name
        ^[%			variable	complete tf variable name
        ^[/			filename	complete file name (unix only)
        ^[;			user_defined	complete from %{completion_list}
        ^[i			input_history	complete from previously typed words
    			sockname	complete name of open tf socket

The "ESC TAB" and "ESC ;" bindings will use the %{completion_list} variable, in which you can store a list of any words you want to be able to complete.

You can also define your own types of completion. See the %{TFLIBDIR}/complete.tf file for more information.
