Enable AutoComplete/ Suggest With this option enabled, the application examines the first few characters in a variable name, device name or a reserved identifier, and automatically finishes typing it for you (default = enabled). In some cases, the program will suggest the rest of the word. With option enabled, the program will automatically finish typing many common terms for you, to save time and effort.
