Sigil code hints

Hi all.

I have just started using Sigil to edit epub files I generate from InDesign. I am using Dreamweaver for most of my editing at the moment, but it is such a pain to always have to unzip the epub, make changes, zip it, check it on my iPad. I work on a Mac.

I have the Book Proofer software from Apple so I thought that by using Sigil, I could save myself a lot of time by editing the epub with Sigil. Book Proofer automatically syncs the saved version of the epub and I can see the results immediately on the iPad.

One thing I do love about Dreamweaver, however, is its Code Hints. When I am editing a rule in the CSS file, when I type the two letters "te" I get a panel next to my cursor with suggestions like: text-align, text-align-last etc. I love this feature as I am NOT an expert in writing code.

Sigil does not do this. Is this correct or am I not doing something I should be doing? Is there perhaps an add in or something that will give me something like what Dreamweaver does?

Thanks in advance.
