Don't get me wrong, auto completion is absolutely perfect as it is (well, you get what I mean). Just that in my case, statistically speaking, I often have, for a common prefix, to fetch the very last item or most often items at the bottom of the list, hence my suggestion to have an option to configure the sort order. To fetch the correct item requires typing _more_ characters (until, in many cases, only two or three characters remain so I am off to type the entire word), not _less_, hence my suggestion. > I'm afraid reversing the list will usually break this possibility of > completing prefixes and adding to them. Not sure I understand the issue here. I'm only talking about the order in which the drop down menu is *displayed*, not how they're stored internally (unless I missed something). Here's an example: <img width="320" height="360" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/99f2e18f-adce-4307-8937-e863128e4abb"; /> In this case they'd "just" need to appear in reverse order. > Did you try modifying the code yourself and use it a bit to see if it is > indeed effective? I was afraid you'd ask that question :sweat_smile: I mean I might try, just don't feel confident enough to find what to do and how but given how my latest investigation went, it may be more straightforward than I think. I'll try and report here in case I find something. > Also, you might want to try the LSP plugin [...] I have absolutely zero clue what that is... (of course I'll look that up so I _will_ know after posting this message). -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/discussions/4424#discussioncomment-14258314 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
