About Completing a Word by Matching (Visual LISP IDE)

Visual LISP is able to match and complete a partially entered word with another word in the same with the Complete Word by Match feature.

Note: The Visual LISP IDE is available on Windows only.

You can use Complete Word by Match in either the Console window or the text editor window, but it is contextual sensitive searches only the current window.

For example, suppose the following shows the history of the Visual LISP Console window or code in the current text editor window:

(setq origin (getpoint "\nOrigin of inyn sign: "))
(setq radius (getdist "\nRadius of inyn sign: " origin))
(setq half-r (/ radius 2))
(setq origin-x (car origin))
(command "._circle" origin radius)

Entering (c and pressing Ctrl+Spacebar matches the function command. If additional words match the entered text, press Ctrl+Spacebar until the word you want is displayed.

The Complete Word by Match feature is not case-sensitive. In the previous example, you would have achieved the same result had you entered a capital C instead of a lowercase c.
