Autocomplete

Add support for autocomplete

[skerit]

I've added some basic autocomplete functionality. Quickly written, very alpha, but it gets the job done pretty well.

Something is better than nothing :-)

I've seen the autocomplete example on the readme and looks cool :-) To make it cooler I think it should:

• use only the width of the biggest suggestion instead of all available space up to right margin
• don't show emply lines
• show first suggestion directly on the input field space

[skerit]

Good ideas!

[piranna]

You are welcome :-)

Well it took a while, but the width & empty lines changes have been implemented and will be released with v0.2.3.

Not too sure about the "show first suggestion..." one, it's a lot of work for a minor feature.

We can have this issue open until a solution appear, maybe future API changes (if any) makes it easier...

Could you be abe to update the readme screenshoot? How have you recorded it?

[skerit]

I don't really remember, I think byanz, but I might try to record it using peek this time.

FYI: Peek has a bug where it generates a very noisy gif, which breaks compressability and generates +/- 10MiB gifs, I created an issue here: phw/peek#288

So I'm using byzanz again to create the gifs, and then compress them further using the gifsicle-lossy fork.
