Autocomplete

Autocomplete suggests what comes next in the sentence you're typing. It works anywhere you type, such as mail, chat, and documents. Pause for a moment while typing, and a suggestion appears in gray after your cursor.

Accept a suggestionCopy Anchor Link

If you don't need a suggestion, ignore it and keep typing. The suggestion disappears or changes as you type.

When you type with your cursor in the middle of a sentence, the suggestion appears in a small suggestion bubble next to the cursor. It also appears in a bubble in terminal apps. You accept it the same way.

TipsCopy Anchor Link

• Accept one word at a time: Press Tab to accept only the part you want, then type the rest yourself. This makes it easier to keep your usual writing style.
• Type a letter or two more when a suggestion doesn't fit: A new suggestion appears that matches what you typed.
• Turn on Autocomplete with screen context: When related text is on screen, such as an email you're replying to, suggestions use it to fit better. See Settings.
• Turn on Tone personalization: Pro users can have suggestions use phrases they write often. See Tone personalization.

Tone personalizationCopy Anchor Link

To have suggestions use phrases you write often, turn on Tone personalization in Settings ▸ Data. It needs a Pro license.

Typeside doesn't save everything you type. It saves only short phrases you've used repeatedly across several documents, encrypted on your Mac. Turning it off also deletes the saved phrases. For details, see Privacy.
