Abstract: Edit automation enhancements may be implemented in source code editors and other text editors. Provisional selections that indicate user intentions are submitted to a suggestion generator with other edit context information, to improve the quality of generated text suggestions and reduce the cognitive load on users. A provisional selection may include a highlighted completion list entry, or document text targeted by a hovering cursor, or metainformation text targeted by the hovering cursor, for example. An inline grey text suggestion driven by provisional selection may be displayed simultaneously with completion list suggestions that were created without regard to provisional selection. Suggestions driven by provisional selection may be interleaved with existing document text. Suggestions may be accepted fully in one gesture, or in parts. Suggestions may be edited by a user before being accepted, driving further suggestion refinement.
