Autocomplete

Autocomplete suggests text continuations right in the editor — gray ghost text after the cursor. The feature is off by default and is enabled manually.

Enabling

Status bar button: the Sparkles icon. A click toggles autocomplete between "AI autocomplete on" and "AI autocomplete off."

Also: Settings → AI — the autocomplete toggle.

Working with a Suggestion

After a pause in typing, gray ghost text appears — a continuation suggested by the AI.

Action Key
Accept all Tab
Accept one word Cmd+→ / Ctrl+→
Reject Escape

Start typing — the suggestion disappears automatically.

Speed Settings

Speed determines how quickly a suggestion appears after you stop typing.

Mode Delay
Calm 1.5 sec
Balanced (default) 0.8 sec
Fast 0.4 sec

Configure: Settings → AI → Autocomplete speed.

Suggestion Auto-hide

A suggestion hides automatically after a while if you don't accept it.

Options: Off / 5s / 10s / 15s / 30s.

Configure: Settings → AI → Hide delay.

Adaptive Slowdown

If you reject suggestions often, the system slows down so it doesn't get in your way:

  • 5 rejections in a row — the delay doubles
  • 10 rejections in a row — a 30-second pause

The counter resets when you accept a suggestion or restart the app. Auto-hide does not count as a rejection.

Suggestion Cache

Recent responses are cached locally. If you tweak the text slightly and pause again, a suggestion may appear instantly from the cache, without calling the AI.

Focus Mode

In focus mode, ghost text is rendered with reduced opacity to be less distracting.

Autocomplete Doesn't Trigger

A suggestion does not appear in the following cases:

  • The cursor is in a heading (not in body text)
  • Right after switching focus to the editor
  • Right after deleting text
  • During an undo

Settings

Enabling and disabling autocomplete, choosing the speed, and setting the hide delay are all available under Settings → AI.
