Complete Selection

Complete Selection completes a partially typed function name.

• This command reads your current selection (which should be a single word or an insertion point following a word) and looks up possible completions in the list of all currently defined functions and variables.

• This command also provides completions for keyboard aliases and full names of special characters, such as \[Alpha] and AliasIndicatoraAliasIndicator.

• This command works only when you are connected to a Mathematica kernel.

• When there is only one possible completion, Mathematica automatically inserts the additional characters to finish what you have typed. Otherwise, a pop-up menu lists the various possible completions. To insert one of them, click the completion you want, or type another letter to reduce the list of possible completions.

• Press Backspace to cancel the pop-up menu.

• If the list is long, you can scroll through the menu by moving the mouse up or down or by using the arrow keys.

• Keyboard shortcuts: ControlKeyLeftModifiedkRightModified (Windows); CommandKeyLeftModifiedkRightModified (Macintosh); ControlKeyLeftModifiedkRightModified (X).
