Autocomplete? (a feature of the Python language IDE)

Autocomplete at least the way it is described below reminds me a lot of how when you are texting on an Iphone by typing that optional words to use might come up and as you see one that fits you click on it without having to type in the whole word you want. Something like that.

begin partial quote from:

Autocomplete

If we start typing in the editor, we may see a dropdown pop up with suggested words. This feature autocompletes common Python keywords and names, so we don't have to memorize them all. We can then click (or use the up and down arrow keys) to select a suggestion.
You may not recognize many of these suggestions just yet, but as our programs get larger, we'll start to rely on them more. For example, as our Python vocabulary grows, we may want help remembering: was that thing I needed called len() or length()?
