AutoScript tab

Description

Set options for AutoScript. AutoScript provides a look-up
and paste service in the Script view. Press the F8 key to open a
pop-up window that displays possible completions or insertions at
the cursor location. If there is only one possible completion or
insertion it is pasted directly into the script. You can invoke
AutoScript using F8 when you have typed one or more characters,
after a dot, or in whitespace. You can also have AutoScript pop
up a window automatically when you have typed one or more characters
of an identifier followed by a dot.
