Autocompletion

Confidence level: **

Status: proposed

Super-patterns

Problem statement

Different kinds of completion:

Like the Firefox Awesomebar - doesn't auto-insert completion; you have to choose one.

Like Emacs - for pathnames and common words / symbols

Sub-patterns

Pay attention to Appropriate Response Time so the completion engine can keep up with people's typing. Typing should not appear sluggish even if completions are being computed.
