When i am using sharelatex.com for example if type
\sec then the system automatically recognize that i want to have a \section and if i press enter i get \section in my compiler.
When i am using Texworks this doesn't happen. For example if want the \section by typing \sec it doesn't recognize \section and therefor i have type the whole command.
It would be nice if this recognize function is also avaible in a offline latex compiler. Do you guys know if Texworks support this funtionality and how i could make use of it? Or is there a other compiler that supports this funtionality?
I have installed texworks with miktex 2.9

Recognize commands
There are several editors that support that feature, but think a minute about it.
How long do you need to type
How long do you need to type
\sec<enter>
and how long to type \section
. Now think about your average typing tempo of normal text. Usually i think, look out the window, start writing, pause, think again, .... And a few minutes later i have written a paragraph of text or only just one sentence. Wow, aut completion has saved me 1 second out of ten minutes. Yeah.The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Re: Recognize commands
I use TeXworks too, but I have seen this auto-completion feature in Kile and in TeXnicCenter. I don't worry about typing commands. The backslash is the hardest
the command is quickly typed. I see a benefit in auto-completing braces and environments though.

Hi,
Texworks does Support Code completion.
For example:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/ ... n-texworks
Just search for Code completion.
Sorry I'm in a hurry.
