Simple Word Completion

[polgartom]

Maybe too complicated in some places, because I don't know the source code fully, so maybe you can do it a simpler way. I've been using this for the past 2 months, and it's not as annoying as LSP is (at least for me). Maybe we need to do some cleanup on this, but initially, I just want to create something that is good and simple.

The extra features:

• Checks the distance between your FIRST cursor and the found word (or subwords) and provides results accordingly.
• If your starting word slice begins with an uppercase letter, it will prioritize words starting with uppercase letters, followed by words starting with lowercase letters. (can be so useful when you search for a macro or constant)
• You can search for subwords (this feature only works with snake_case words). Subword search combines the two features mentioned above and it first lists words without underscore characters, then words with underscore characters.

Start/Step forwards: Ctrl-E
Start/Step backwards: Ctrl-Q
Start/Step forwards (subwords): Ctrl-R (then you can use Ctrl-E and Ctrl-Q too for stepping between results)

I will review this next week when I'm back from my trip and have cleared the backlog of stuff I have - will do before the next release.

Checked it out a few days ago, was working pretty nice. Hope it gets merged, it's a solid step towards Jails/lsp support :)

Sorry for taking this long. I haven't forgotten about it - been sick and didn't work on the editor at all.

This is getting delayed since I need to take a very careful look at it and we barely have the time to finish the remaining things for the release

[polgartom]

This is a simple stuff which search the buffer for words. I cannot live without that but probably you want to refact the whole thing as it is with more optimization.

OK finally I'm ready to look at this. Thanks for waiting

[focus-editor]

I've tried it once again. The reason I needed to take a careful look at it was because when I tried it at first I wasn't very happy with the behaviour and felt the need to redo it.

I hope you're OK if I use your code as a reference and implement the behaviour I'd intended to implement originally.

[polgartom]

If you able to use anything from it then just go ahead. :)

I haven't forgotten about it, just super busy. Completions should be coming in 0.4.0 (but we haven't shipped 0.3.6 yet :( )
