Examples (@window title is @test): Type: This @window is called @ Result: This @window is called @test Type: @ Result: @test Type: @ works. Result: @test works. Note that @ just has to be by itself (nothing touching it). so, don't put @. or @? or @! at the end of a sentence. Not quite what you wanted, but it's something, anyhow.

You mentioned the listbox having "win" in it and if u pressed "win<tab>" it becomes "window", well if instread the listbox had "window" in it and you type "win<tab>" whith no on key code its going to change to "window" at any location in the line, this is the default tab completion in action, just like for the channel tab completion.

DaveC, afaik, the built in tab auto completion wont auto-complete @window names. Note: the code i posted could probably be improved on to auto-complete any @window name rather than just the active one.
