2.19.2 Symbol name completion function

This function helps users input data by selecting one of the listed symbol names that exist in the program, when specifying an address expression and so on.

The list of symbol names appears by pressing the [Ctrl] + [Space] keys when a part of the target symbol name is being input in the text box that supports this function. In this list, double-click the target symbol name (or press the [Space]/[Enter] key after selecting it by using the [Up]/[Down] key) to complement the symbol name currently being input.

At this time, if a key other than the [Space]/[Enter] key is pressed or the focus moves to outside the panel/dialog box currently being operated, then the list of symbol names will disappear (the symbol name completion will not be performed).

Caution 1.

If there are no character strings in the text box or there are no candidates of the symbol, then the list of symbol names will not appear.

Caution 2.

Since the information for use by the symbol name completion function is generated while symbols are being downloaded, the time taken for downloading and the memory usage on the host machine will increase when this function is enabled. Therefore, if you do not intend to use the symbol name completion function, we recommend invalidating this function by selecting [No] in the [Generate the information for input completion] item in the Download Files dialog box ([Yes] is selected by default).

Remark

See the explanation of the corresponding panel/dialog box as to whether this function can be used or not when inputting a symbol name.
