BBAutoComplete X For Mac

BBAutoComplete is a free and straightforward Mac OS X app that adds word auto-completion to Affrus, TextWrangler, BBEdit, Mailsmith, Smile, Tex-Edit Plus, Microsoft Word, Script Debugger 3.x and other other scriptable text editors.

All you'll have to do is to type the start of a word, press a key, and BBAutoComplete will automatically add the letters needed to complete the word.

In case BBAutoComplete guesses wrong, you can keep pressing the pre-defined completion key to cycle through all other remaining completions.

Other autocompletion utilities need to be taught the abbreviations and expansions that you use; BBAutoComplete avoids this hassle by automatically looking for expansions in the program’s open documents. This means that it always suggests completions that are relevant to your current task.

BBAutoComplete is probably most useful for programmers, who need to remember and type long variable and method names, but it can also help with prose writing. It’s useful any time you need to type long words quickly and accurately.
