In many editors (vi/emacs for instance) there's an option to autocomplete text in any text file. It simply looks in the file for another occurence of the text already types and fill in the whole occurence.
So in a text file "I went to school sorry" when you type so<autocomp-key> it'll complete the word to "sorry". If you type w<autocomp-key> it'll complete to "went". And if you type s<autocomp-key> it'll complete to both school and sorry (first click "sorry", then "school").
Is there any option to do that with notepad++?

I assume you are not using NP++ at the moment then, because it lacks this (and possibly other) essential feature(s). So keep checking the NP++ pages until it does!

the shortcut that your are looking for is
ctrl+maj+space and you are rigth it is very helpfull
I must take this opportunity to mention how annoying if the autocompletion key is tab or enter, so avoid these ;)
For me this feature is essential, found in many other editors (eg: pspad). A must have to increase productivity on coding.
