Thanks!!

I really wish that it wasn't all or nothing. I don't mind the option to
autocomplete up to just before the '(', but the rest of the line just gets
in the way. It's particularly annoying to me, perhaps just because of the
way I typically write the code.

I'll often start with an object, say cylinder();, then I'll move up one line
and do a translate or rotate. That's when it bites me. I want to see the
line I just wrote, to guide me in setting the values, but of course, the
autocomplete hides the line I want to see. I could try to train myself to
put a space in before the '(', I suppose.

I don't know what that means, but you can trigger the
popup via CTRL-Space if the autocomplete is disabled.
(hopefully that will also become configurable soon).

No, and I doubt it ever will be, however it should
learn to complete user functions at some point.

There's a template feature which can be used to insert
fixed text snippets via ALT+Insert (or context menu).
The small set shipped with OpenSCAD can be extended
by placing files into the config folder.

Example:

<User Config Path>/templates/intersection.json

{
"key" : "intersection",
"content" : "intersection() {\n\t^~^\n}"
}

The ^~^ is the position the cursor will be placed at
after inserting the template (or just at the end if
it's missing).

Thanks - I didn't notice the scroll bar...😅

(and I only just realised I never 'replied to list'... 😬)
