Feature Summary

Introduce an auto-completion system that suggests relevant keywords, variables, functions, or file paths as the user types. The system should be context-aware and customizable.

Motivation

Auto-completion significantly improves typing speed, reduces syntax errors, and enhances the overall editing experience. It’s especially useful in coding environments, configuration files, and structured formats where precision matters.

Proposed Design

• Monitor user input in real-time and suggest completions based on context.
• Support multiple completion sources: language keywords, user-defined snippets, file paths, and recent tokens.
• Display suggestions in a dropdown list with optional documentation preview.
• Allow users to accept suggestions via keyboard or mouse.
• Provide settings to enable/disable completion types or adjust sensitivity ad delay.

Acceptance Criteria

• Suggestions appear as the user types in supported file types by modes.
• Completions are relevant to the current context (e.g., language, scope).
• Users can navigate and select suggestions using keyboard.
• Suggestions include optional source type.
• The system does not interfere with normal typing or introduce lag.

Implementation Notes (Optional)

• Use a token-based parser or language server for context detection in modes.
• Cache frequent completions for performance.
• Consider fallback strategies for unknown file types or plain text.
