autocomplete question

[bbjimmy]

Is there a way to clear the autocomplete list? I know I can turn it off, but what if I want to clear the list and start with a new one?

I am tinkering with my text editors Trope and Rondel, feeding in a UK English wordlist for autocompletion, but what if my user suddenly decides that US English is more suitable? I can tell the user to save the file, close the editor and start over, but that is not very satisfactory. I would prefer to clear out all the UK English terms and feed in my US English (or French, or German) list.

place your textedit on a view that can be removed ( no menu or shortcuts) and remove the view, then re-add the view and textedit. This short example uses the Reset button to remove the autocomplete for the textedit.

Note: there is no code to save the text of the textedit.

        switch(msg$(everyCommand))
