autocomplete

Autocomplete is a feature provided by many source code text editors, word processors, and web browsers. Autocomplete involves the program predicting a word or phrase that the user wants to type in without the user actually typing it in completely. The approach can generally be used effectively in those cases where it is relatively easy to predict the new words being input based on those already input because of a limited number of possible words (small lexicon) characteristic of email programs, web browsers, or command line interpreters, as well as potentially because of the highly structured, easy to predict language, such as in source code editors. Autocomplete usually speeds up computer interactions in environments to which it is well suited.
