Hi Tobias,

Thanks for that, that’s exactly what I needed. It seems as though the checkbox 
works opposite to how it should! Next time I’ll be sure to check all the mouse 
hover over texts.

Christos, thanks for your recommendations on other plugins. I’m still 
familiarizing myself with Eric so didn’t know which functionalities are 
built-in and which are plug-ins.

Alex.

Subject: Re: [Eric] Autocompletion behaviour


Hello Alex,

you can configure it under Settings -> Preferences -> Editor -> Autocompletion 
-> QScintilla. Keep the first checkbox ("Show single") unchecked. If you stay a 
little while over the text, you'll see a tooltip with a good hint about the 
function of the specific setting.

You should also try out the eric plugins which support autocompletion. I prefer 
jedi, but you can also choose Eric assistant or rope (or even all of them 
together).

Tobias

Is there a way to change the behavior of autocompletion so that eric never 
forces a match, but still displays the drop-down suggestion list?

For further clarification, my current experience with autocomplete turned on is 
that if there is only one match, the match will automatically fill, if there is 
more than one match, a drop-down of current matches will display. I like the 
drop down but do not like the automatic fill.


I am also wondering if it is possible, and if so how, to get autocomplete 
suggestions from imported modules outside of the python standard library.

Regards,
Alex.
