Its like C# editor in VS if you've ever used that.  Basically monitors your key 
strokes for the first few characters of typing each word in your code.  If I 
type in "tst" then the code insite suggestion box comes up and shows me 
TStrings, TStringList, etc. and all I have to do is hit Tab or Enter and the 
chosen keyword is entered automatically.

The CnWizard version is pretty smart and seems to take into account context and 
recent use of keywords.  You can also set the number of characters that must be 
input before suggestions will popup.

I posted about it once before I think.  Not only is it a time saver for me, but 
it promotes better variable and type naming since I don't have to type out 
TMyAbstractComponent, I just type "TMy", the suggestion box pops up, I hit 
enter/tab and keep on rolling.
