expand-word(3)

NAME

expand-word - Complete a word by invocation of the speller

SYNOPSIS

expand-word

DESCRIPTION

expand-word attempts to complete the word at the current position through the use of the current language dictionary. The user is presented with a list of endings for the given word portion. These may be selected with the cursor or mouse.

expand-word is automatically invoked from the expand-abbrev-handle(3) macro in response to an expansion command, it is only invoked if enabled in the user-setup(3) => General => Abbrev Expansion => Dict'n setting is enabled.

NOTES

expand-word is a macro implemented in abbrev.emf.

The user-setup configuration simply sets the macro variable .expand-word.on to TRUE, i.e.:

set-variable .expand-word.on 1 

It may be subsequently disabled by setting the variable back to 0.
