This document describes techniques for contextually intelligent code editing. In at least some embodiments, the techniques are network-based and can use client-server interactions to develop programming code. For example, input to a local programming environment of a client can be transmitted to a server. A functionality at the server can inspect the input and determine programming options (e.g., programming terms and/or phrases) that are contextually valid in the local programming environment. A list of the programming options can then be transmitted to the client and presented via a user interface. In some embodiments, a selection of one of the programming options can cause the programming option to be populated to the local programming environment, e.g., as part of a user interface associated with the local programming environment. In at least some embodiments, the list of programming options can be cached locally on the client for quick retrieval.
