I suggest exposing ArrayCtrl list;
since then - SuggestCtrl would be 'complete'.
eg: ArrayCtrl& GetListCtrl(); or GetPopup(); or something like that.

...in a way that one can then put eg Display into it,
and having all kind of neat things with that in it.
Else - this is not possible, and popup list(ArrayCtrl) is not customizable.

When one is writing to SuggestCtrl,
there is possibly default string already selected,
having ability to just press Tab to select it would be nice(similar to like in TheIDE).
Now - one has to press down once.

By the way,
i suggest modifying this in Esc, now it is:
Quote:

array[start, count]
array[start:end]
array[,count]
array[:count]
Same as array[0, count].

Since there is array[start:end] it specifies start:end,
for array[:count] it should be array[:end],
which would be identical to this format array[start:end],
like array[start, count] is to array[,count].

Could be true/false added to Esc?
It doesn't have to support new type, just so that
true is recognized as 1 and false as 0 - while using existing type(eg int,...).
One can now do eg: :true=1; :false=0;, but it's a little cumbersome for primitive type.

Also,
is there a way in LocalProcess
to somehow manually send Ctrl-C to it,
since many terminal apps use this key to end it?

Also,
why does't Color have GetAlpha() and separate(not existant) Color(int r, int g, int b, int a)?
