Lets assume I am editing a PHP document and type "s", the bundle (or even better, TM2 ;)) looks up a list of function names and then outputs after the s, the first keyword in the list that starts with "s". However, that extra text is left as selected, if the user continues to type then they will overwrite the text (and it will alter it's guess accordingly) but if the user hits the relevant key, it leaves the selected text in place and puts the caret (I think that's the name) at the end of the word.
If it's not possible in a bundle, is there any chance of seeing something like it in TM2?
This is also possible with TM 1.x
You have to install DIALOG2 ('only' source code available; you have to compile it) and you have to look for the latest bundle versions whether the author(s) wrote a routine to support DIALOG2.
tm_dialog2 provides such a functionality 'ExtendedPopUp'. You type 's' press the the key for auto-complete. A popup window appears with all suggestions beginning with 's'. But you type further to narrow down the list.
