Using Jade AutoComplete Functionality

The Jade AutoComplete feature provides the following.

• Reduces the amount of typing required to define a Jade method.

• A list of selectable suggestions for what is being entered in the context of the current expression.

  The list contents depend on the context, and can include Jade instructions, package names, global constants, classes, properties, methods, method options (for example, updating and protected), constants, and translatable strings.

  Only the keywords that are valid in a method are listed as suggestions.

  The Jade AutoComplete feature selects a matching entry out of the most‑recently used list for the current context in the displayed list. The selection is case‑insensitive, with the exception of the first character (the case of first character determines the types of entries that are displayed).

• The ability to investigate the type of any entity by hovering the mouse over an entity.
