Is there a keyboard shortcut in TeXnicCenter to complete the current environment? In other words, it should add the appropriate \end{....}.

Have a look at Tips on code completion on TeXnicCenter. – Stefan Kottwitz♦ Jun 15 '11 at 18:35

@doncherry: in that case, I'll recommend to always type \begin{<env>} \end{<env>} at once (and in this circumstances auto completion can be handy), and fill the contents afterwards; this helps to prevent forgetting to end an environment. – Gonzalo Medina Jun 15 '11 at 19:29

Obligatory emacs answer: C-c ] closes the current environment. – Seamus Jul 1 '11 at 10:24

Sadly, it does seem that the correct answer is "there isn't". Oh well. It's the main feature I miss from Emacs. – Jeremy Hurwitz Jul 6 '11 at 22:48

(Summarising comments as an answer, so that this question is 'answered'.)

It seems that you are looking for a keyboard shortcut to take the input

\begin{pumpkinpie}
  Tralala

and have TeXniccenter automatically close the environment with

\end{pumpkinpie}

(i.e. to close whatever the last environment opened was.) At present, the answer is 'TeXniceenter does not have such a function'. Perhaps lodge a feature request.

Thanks! I've marked this as the accepted answer. I've filed a feature request (sourceforge.net/tracker/…) in case anyone else is interested. – Jeremy Hurwitz Jul 19 '11 at 18:38
