Hi Skrell,

If you don't mind posting it when you are done that would be great.

The order actually depends on the type of word it is.
For words hardcoded in the wordlist (ie above the ;LEARNEDWORDS; keyword) the order is the same as it is in the wordlist, and will always be that way. These words always appear *before* any words below the ;LEARNEDWORDS; keyword.
For words below the ;LEARNEDWORDS; keyword, the order changes over time. The more frequently you type a word, the earlier in the list it will appear. When you exit the script these words will be rearranged in the wordlist file by frequency. At the startup of the script the frequency based list is simply based on the order in the wordlist file, so feel free to help the script along by rearranging manually if you want.

If you want all your words to be ordered by frequency, simply put them all under the ;LEARNEDWORDS; keywords.

What I do is I put the language's standard functions and keywords at the top (with the longer ones first), then I simply let the script learn my defined function/variable names, etc.

Yeah, the learning feature is EXCELLENT for function and variable names. No more copy/paste!

BTW, you can tweak how many times you need to type a word for it to be learned permanently.

Also, I'm not sure this would be useful for VHDL, but ForceNewWordCharacters is useful for the programming language I'm using. For example, all the functions begin with "@", so I simply remove that from the Terminating Characters list and put it in ForceNewWordCharacters. Whenever I type an "@" symbol the current word resets and a new word is started with "@" at the beginning (note this also has the side-effect of making it so any words which contain @ are not learned. This is hardcoded this way on purpose, but if people need it otherwise I can parameterize it).

Glad you like it, have fun . Feel free to ask me any more questions you may have.

Do you have to type the ENTIRE word in order for it to move up the word list or can it simply be a word that is matched many times? For instance, if i type the word "directions" more often than "direction" i would like to see it higher on the list.

hahahaha... I made almost this exact same function a little while back, down to the precise user interface and a wordlist.txt file in the script directory! Very funny. No 13 pages of comments on mine though

yeah I made mine in about 2 and a half hours for some guy who emailed me (i have that thing in my sig) asking about an autocomplete. I don't ever use it for myself oh well, a good excercise in programming! and, neat! no sketch, where are you? I'm in boston now.

also before i made that script i looked in the forum for autocomplete. For some reason this didnt pop up, or i was just very stupid.

I hope you don't mind all these questions but i'm trying to integrate this great app into my work environment SOOOO:

I don't see the word "directions" ascending my list(it is always in the same order) of learnedwords am i doing something wrong? Is there a way to set how quickly the word ascends the list?

[maniac]

[berban]

cool sauce. nah I just typed "autocomplete" into the search and it was the second result. I must have been due to my silliness.

This is the part that concerns me:
"Also, when reading the wordlists, the weights are assigned very naively. The bottommost word is assigned a weight of 5 (or whatever the minimum number of times you need to type a word to learn it is), the next word up is 6, the next up is given a weight of 7, etc. "

So am i to understand that if your wordlist is 500 words that the topmost word is assigned a frequency "weight" of 505 (500 + 5(minimum number of times)) ?? I think a much better way would be as follows: Each time a word is typed/matched to move it to the top of the list so as words are used more frequently they stay on top and the less used ones will "settle" to the bottom. This will work well for programming keywords.

What do you think?

[Skrell]

yes you are correct i see your point....hmm...

[Skrell]

well i guess i still think it would be nice to have a parameter in the .ini file that would allow you to specify the number added to a word each time it is used rather than just adding 1 always.
