Is there a generic term for when a code editor makes suggestions for you to "fill in the blank" when you're typing code?

I've heard all of these terms:

Content Assist
Word completion
Intellisense

I wouldn't mind seeing more consistent jargon.

Emacs has a similar-sounding feature called "dynamic
abbreviations".  I haven't used any of the other features listed
above so I don't know how similar it really is.
