In ipython, we abstracted various things to ipapi that can be used to extend ipython. I think this would be a boon to leo as well (and especially ileo, since completion there does not require "analysis" of any kind). As I said, all I need would be is for leo to call callback/hook with signature like def complete(line-up-to-cursor, current_node) => list of strings This should make writing leo's own completers easier as well (it doesn't need to be "hard wired" to leo core). -- Ville M.
