|Feature overview=The current JavaScript autocompletion in the web console suffers from some usability issues (difficulty in discovering other names that are available, inconvenient keyboard shortcuts for choosing a name). | |||
|Feature requirements=[[File:Bug-585991.png|200px|thumb|right|Screenshot of the new AutocompletePopup in action.]] | |||
The new autocomplete popup lists the possible completions such that the user can either click them or scroll through them using the up/down arrow keys. Tab and Enter allow the user to accept the selected completion. Escape closes the popup and deletes the proposed completion. | |||
If the feature is not ready during the Aurora phase, msucan will back it out. | |||

Autocompletion is implemented in many contexts. Prior to this feature, our completion is similar to that of the WebKit Inspector, but Firebug's current completion UI (which uses a popup as proposed here) seems more usable. | |||
