        Word</strong></span> (shortcut: <code class="keycap">C+b</code>) locates possible
        completions for the word at the caret, first by looking in the current
        edit mode's syntax highlighting keyword list, and then in the current
        buffer for words that begin with the word at the caret. This serves as a
        very basic code completion feature.</p><p>If there is only one completion, it will be inserted into the
        buffer immediately.</p><p>If multiple completions were found, the longest common prefix is
        inserted into the buffer, and a popup is shown below the caret position
        listing the completions.</p><p>To insert a completion from the list, either select it using the
        <code class="keycap">UP</code> and <code class="keycap">DOWN</code> keys and press
        <code class="keycap">ENTER</code>, press a digit to insert one of the first ten
        completions (1 is the first completion; 9 is the 9th; 0 is the 10th), or
        click the desired completion with the mouse. To close the popup without
        inserting a completion, press <code class="keycap">ESCAPE</code>.</p><p>Typing while the popup is visible will automatically update the
        popup and narrow the set of completions as necessary.</p><p><span class="guimenu"><strong>Edit</strong></span>&gt;<span class="guimenuitem"><strong>Word Count</strong></span>
        displays a dialog box with the number of characters, words and lines in

            <code class="keycap">C+RIGHT</code>, <code class="keycap">C+BACKSPACE</code> and
            <code class="keycap">C+DELETE</code> commands is to stop both at the beginning
            and the end of each word. Normally, a word is a sequence of
            alphanumerics, but you can add other characters as part of 
            what jEdit considers to be a 'word', set on a global or mode basis
            from <span class="guimenuitem"><strong>Global Options -  Editing - Extra Word
            Characters</strong></span>. 
            In addition, this behavior can be changed by remapping
            these keystrokes to alternative actions whose names end with
            <span class="guimenuitem"><strong>(Eat Whitespace)</strong></span> in the
