Doesn't Kdevelop have a "code completion" feature? I'm not sure excatly what it's called. Its an auto-completion feature which gives the user easy access to members of classes and structs, usually in the form of a drop down menu or combo-box.

Anyway, I have recently installed Kdevelop3 and I can't figure out how to get this working. Is there some secert to this? I love this feature, and its the primary reason I use an IDE. I'm a KDE guy, but I'd also be interested to hear comments or comparisons to other IDE's (i.e. Anjuta) use of this feature.

TIA - ep

You should be able to turn on code completion by selecting Project->Project options->C++ specific (or whatever language you're using)->Code completion tab. For me however, the list of databases is empty, and I can't add any. Anyone know how to fix this? The section about code completion in the kdevelop manual is not written yet...

You can also turn on word completion from Settings->Configure editor->Configure plugins.
