I am trying to add simple syntax highlighting and auto completion for a simple scripting language...

I added syntax highlighting using this article

Now I want to know how to enable auto completion with Notepad ++ for my custom language. Does anyone know how to do that?

The link provided by Mark no longer works, but you can go to:

Notpad++ 6.6.9

  • Settings -> Preferences -> Auto-Completion -> Enable auto-completion on each input.

I find it very annoying though, since a big autocomplete block is always coming up and I would just like to see autocomplete when I press tab or a key combination. I am fairly new to Notepad++ though. If you know of such a key combination, please feel free to reply. I found this question via Google, so we can always help others.enter image description here
