There has been some recent mention of autocompletion, though at the moment just musings.
Leo's autocompletion is not merely linked to the Python language but to Leo itself, by default being populated only with the Leo namespace. Additional autocompletions (python only) can be had using the valuespace plugin, though it is a little cumbersome. I mentioned possibly integrating Jedi down the road but with absolutely timetable suggested (this is also Python only). Past efforts in the form of plugins have been made to improve autocompletion, but I think they are now defunct. I am speaking to only what I can observe. To answer your second question, there is no doubt that all would find autocompletion, especially language agnostic, useful. Now I will answer your first question, it would be a significant effort. If it is a feature that is desired by the Leo community and Leo developers then the reasonable thing to do is to put it on a development roadmap and weigh its value against that of other roadmapped features. In my own experience the longer I use Leo the less I desire this feature. Between Leo's ability to chop up and organize code and Leo's various search capabilities (especially those of quick-find) I find myself easily able to discover what I wish on my own.
