Is there any way to make processing show recommended words or whatever?

Is there any way to make processing show recommended words or whatever? Like when I am typing: "voi" it recommends: "void"?

I think you are looking for "predictive text"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predictive_text

This isn't built in to Processing -- you would need to implement it, or find a Java library that does so. Predictive text generally requires a large dictionary in order to work.

... I just realized from your other question: is this actually an Android Mode question? Are you asking if you can access the Android built-in predictive text?

There is a code-completion option in the preferences that'll expand some text for you. for instance, if you have a class instance and type a . then it can list all the methods or variables in that class (it doesn't need a dictionary for this, just uses reflection). but 'void' is a different thing...

Okay, "void" -- I'm FINALLY realizing that you want code completion, not in-application T9.

See tools / code completion or speed editing

Never tried it though

This in not an android mode question.

I do not know what the code completion does! I installed it and it changed nothing.

the code completion thing just improves the ctrl+space thing. (See it here: http://jonathan.dahlberg.media/ecc/ ) And I can't install the speed code tool. It looks really helpful! ( http://larskaltenbach.de/code/speedTool/ )

You could write draw (4 letters) and ctrl-space

And then replace the function name
