You're confusing things here - Notepad++ is code editor. The ones you mentioned are IDEs. There are many features in them that doesn't realy relate to code editing and that is the reason why they will never be as fast as Notepad++.

I am not a coder, but is it difficult to start auto-completition on a key stroke ?
For exemple, in HTML, pressing "<" would start the auto-completition, in CSS, ";\n" or ":\s" (or something else, maybe defined by the user) would start auto-completition.
Is starting auto-completition on what is typed by the user very different than starting it on Ctrl+Space ?

>TOO bad DON - you could have competed with visual studio or dreamweaver. big ideas - big success
Those editors are also too slow to compete with Notepad++ thanks to the recklass desire for more features without the quality from sticking with good coding standards. A similar automatic feature is a wart on Code::Blocks too which must be disabled to make the editor usable. If you want an idea how much work it is to implement such an automatic feature without making the editor unusable, check out the effort underway at Code::Blocks.
Is there a way to auto-start the auto-completition so it is needless to press ctrl+space?
Thanks for your help
hhmm!
When open the program, and press ENTER, show auto-completition, but this features would be to show after press any character different of ENTER??
example:
make new document, then press ENTER, i dont want this, because, if have many blank lines, always press ENTER, show auto-completition.
Sugestion: Show auto-completition after any char pressed (a,b,c ...)
version 4.5
also space should not trigger autocomplete either.
and i'd love to be able to exclude numbers from auto-complete...
it's a real pain for me because my language still uses line numbers.
but if enter/space/numbers were disabled from launching auto-complete than i'd turn mine back on and LOVE it even more.
BTW i just love N++ ... so much i had to order the panties.
now this seems to be a good idea.
No.
I won't do that.

Why not? Could be an option...
Hmm... it needs a lot of coding effort and all archetectures should be broken to make this feature available.

Writing a realtime compiler for every code style that N++ can edit is not a weekend project.
