Text editor with autocomplete while typing normal text


There's a lot of Text editors which support autocomplete during programming, but I want one which can autocomplete while typing normal text as I see a lot of repetition of words I type. Any emacs fans who have implemented this ?


Solution

  • pabbrev-mode (predictive abbreviation) works by examining previously written text. Unlike dynamic abbreviation, the text is analyzed during idle time (which enables quick lookup of potential abbreviations). Pabbrev looks at word frequency to suggest the most common expression.

    From the documentation, this is what it might look like as you typed the keys pred.

    p[oint]
    pr[ogn]
    pre[-command-hook]
    pred[ictive]
