Text Auto-fill

It's common in web browsers to have a text auto-fill function for
personal information or passwords or whatnot. The flavor that I'm
referring to is the kind that pops up as you're typing the word, not
the kind that fills text fields before typing has started.

Well I want to know how to do that in Python. I'm looking to edit IDLE
so that it doesn't take me forever to code four lines.

Eventually, I want to create a Visual Basic-type environment for
myself. I'm a moron, and I need all the coding help I can get.

I'm very fond of the Emacs feature called 'dabbrev-expand', which lets you
type the start of a word and cycle through all words in all open files that
starts with those letters.

Not an answer to your question, but if you're going to hack on completion
algorithms, you might as well hack on a really great one!

I suspected as much ;-)

If the following is displayed in IE6 or FireFox, the text box forces the second DIV to expand beyond its 15em width. Is there a way to have the text box fit within the DIV (preferably without losing its default borders)?

Hi there, I have a problem with some CSS I'm writing and I was looking for a little help. I have a nav bar at the top and left side of my page in CSS which work fine.

The layout is working, except that the text in the main section doesn't seem to wrap...

I've found that for IE6+, if you add the property text-align:center to a DIV, then *anything* inside it gets centered. That can be a table, an object/embed, another DIV, an image, or some text. Firefox and Safari on the other hand don't treat text-align in that way. In my tests on those browsers, they only centers images and text. Any DIVs, object/embeds or tables remain default unaligned and generally appear on the left. Considering...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
