# Autocomplete

<!-- preview autocomplete 260 -->

`ui.Autocomplete` creates a text input editing a `*string` that suggests,
below it, those of a list of strings containing what was typed, those
starting with it first: Up and Down move among them and Enter takes one, as
does a click, while Enter on none is `Submitted`. `Changed` reports a
change, typed or taken.

```go
ui.Autocomplete(c, &app.city, cities).Label("City")
```

Unlike a [combobox](https://mygo.egoist.dev/docs/ui/combobox.md), whose value is one of its options, an
autocomplete keeps what the user typed.

## Accessibility

Assistive technology sees a combo box named by its `Label`, editable as a
text field, whose suggestions complete what was typed
(`aria-autocomplete="list"`); the suggestion the arrows are on has the
focus for it.
