Alternative autocompletion

This plugin adds an autocompletion command to Sublime Text that acts similarly to TextMate:

  • Hitting the autocomplete key will attempt to complete the current word by looking at similar words in the current document.

  • Hitting the autocomplete key multiple times will cycle through the available words.

  • The last autocomplete position is remembered, so you can perform an autocompletion, move the cursor around, move back to where you were, and continue cycling through the completions.

  • Candidate completions are selected prioritized by distance to the cursor.

The plugin improves on TextMate in one respect: If no candidates are found, the plugin reverts to using a simple fuzzy, case-insensitive matching algorithm that is similar to Sublime's file/class matching algorithm. For example, typing appc might match ApplicationController.

Compatibility

Sublime Text 3 only
