Mmm, that isn't how it's working here. If I type `f o r` (with
pprofunctions_cb.otl) the cursor moves to
for {Script built-in}
but right above it I see
floattostring(x)
which has nothing to do with `f o r`

Like I said, I have floattostring(x) right above it, it isn't a match.

I don't know, I'm confused.
I am used to the pickstring match behavior. I would like for CA to mimic that
behavior if possible.
Run this scriptlet and type `f o r` to see what I mean
messagebox("ok",
pickstring(file.readall(pprofolder++?"pprofunctions_cb.otl"),"test") )
See how the match list visibly narrows down? That's unbeatable IMO.
I undestand that CA manages its own dialog - that's the beauty of it - but if
somehow it could hook into
the matching engine built into pickstring, I think it would be much easier to
use and possibly more
useful.
