BBAutoComplete overview

BBAutoComplete adds word auto-completion to Affrus, BBEdit, Mailsmith, Microsoft Word, Script Debugger, Smile, Tex-Edit Plus, and TextWrangler. You type the start of a word, press a key, and BBAutoComplete types the letters to complete the word. If BBAutoComplete guessed wrong, you can keep pressing the key to cycle through other possible completions. Other auto-completion utilities need to be taught the abbreviations and expansions that you use; BBAutoComplete avoids this hassle by automatically looking for expansions in the program's open documents. This means that it always suggests completions that are relevant to your current task. BBAutoComplete is probably most useful for programmers, who need to remember and type long variable and method names, but it can also help with prose writing. It's useful any time you need to type long words quickly and accurately. BBEdit 9 and later have a built-in auto-completion feature, however BBAutoComplete is preferable in some ways. BBAutoComplete can look for completions using text in other windows and documents that are open. Depending where your cursor is, BBEdit may ignore potential completions, even if the words appear just a few lines away in the same document. The completions that BBAutoComplete offers are easily predictable and consistent; they do not change based on the syntactic context. BBAutoComplete is case-sensitive, which helps to narrow the list to the most relevant completions.

Exactly what I was looking for. Easy to install. Just drop the .app file in applications, and add the scripts to your textwrangler scripts folder. Then go into textwrangler and under window/ palettes go to scripts and assign a shortcut key to the script. Thanx to the developer for his generosity. It certainly makes textwrangler much more useful.

It depends on which application you're using. For BBEdit, you would copy the scripts into the Scripts folder inside the BBEdit folder inside Application Support. This page: http://c-command.com/bbautocomplete/manual-ah/integration-scripts tells exactly which folders to use.

This is a great app that adds a feature that should be built into all text editors. Not that it matters too much, since it's free. Installation was a bit alienating though, you'll need to consult the help files to work out how to install it properly, and I imagine newbies would have a hard time understanding the instructions there. But once you've got it installed it "just works".
