I love the auto completion feature in Notepad++ it's really nice. Although I would like an option to make it auto give me options rather than having to press control space. If you look at Programers Notepad it alows you to set how many keys until it gives the option. Tell me what you think.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The auto completion function isn't very user friendly indeed...for example you have to press twice enter for confirming the auto completion and then another one for a new line.
Maybe the dev's can take a look at the auto completion from scribes...still under development but an concurrent for notepad++ in the future i think, although it is for linux.
This is there website: http://scribes.sourceforge.net/
You can see a demo over there for the auto completion function, and it is very very handy. I would love to see the same function in notepad++.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The Notepad++ autocompletion can be automatically triggered, from the first to the 9th character typed. Go to Preferences->Backup/Autocompletion and enable autocompletion on each input. You can select the amount of characters needed to trigger the autocomplete.
When I trigger autocomplete myself I only have to press enter once for it to be inserted, so its probably a bug. Are you using some non-western or special input method?

As for the template support, the Quicktext plugin probably does something similar, look here:
