Nicknames.

[chiali]

I'm an intensive user of KOYO PLC'S :
It would be very helpful to have ,in the DS5 Software ,a way to choose a Nickname from a List box ;that is, in the Ladder
programming ,just by typing the first letter ,for an object to add in a rung ,we would have a list ,of all the available Nicknames
of the project ,from which we could select the desired one. (This avoid us typing long Nicknames).
Take it into consideration please.

Best regards.

Have you looked at the Element Browser dialog box?  Hit F9 in just about any field.  The list of all applicable nicknames for that field will show up in the Nicknames group.  You can hide System Nicknames by unchecking the System NN's checkbox if you just want to see YOUR Nicknames.  I believe they're listed in alphabetical order.

It's not the "autocomplete" that you are looking for, but this little browser gets you at least 50% there.

Thanks Franji1 for this prompt response.

We can't select the nickname from the Element Browser.
There is no way I think.

Thanks again.

Please explain what you mean by "we cannot select the nickname from the Element Browser".  Does that mean it does not work or does it mean you cannot bring up the Element Browser dialog or you don't have an F9 key on your keyboard or
