Hello,

The following help page seems completely out of date:

https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/IDE_Window:_Editor_Options_Completion_Hints

The only header that can be recognized is 'Auto remove empty methods'.

I would correct it, but I have *really* no idea what the items in that dialog actually do.

at this point, I just randomly set some options and hope to see some effect in the editor.

Quite sobering, after 15 years of working in the IDE :)

Michael.

I filled in quick descriptions of each feature.

Feel free to ask, if any is unclear

The only one I am myself totally unfamiliar with is: Add close statement for Pascal blocks

This really belongs in the codetool config, but nobody ever took the time to move it.

I think this means adding the 'end' after you typed a 'begin'. Maybe it also adds a finally after a try.

Well, meanwhile there is such a staggering amount of options that it probably scares the bejeezus out of any beginner. Maybe we can add more options to remedy this:

'User level:'
'Beginner'
'Untermediate'
'Expert'
Which shows ever more options, where "beginner" shows only the color scheme

;-)
