 With the plugin [[https://gitlab.com/grogra/groimp-plugins/Autocompletors|Autocompletors]] comes the possibility to use a text autocomplete in GroIMP text editors.
-Completors available:
+Completors available:
+  * **Static only**: The completions included comes from the [[:user-guide:common_panels#preferences|function browser]]. It also includes all classes from IMP3D objects and turtle commands. When a project is recompiled, its modules and static fields are added to the completions. Warning there is not notion of scope in this completor, i.e. it do not check if a completion is available at a __java__ level.
+  * **Scope Based**: in development completor. It suggests completions based on the scope and context of the caret. It is based on a parser written in ANTLR 4. The development of the antlr parser and scope builder is available [[https://gitlab.com/grogra/groimp-plugins/Suggest|here]]. The first completion in a project is always slow as it build the scope for the default imports. Then, each completions should be faster. The speed can be an issue for big project. **Note that "import my.package.lib.* " are quite slow to process**.
