Variable/Word Completion

Hi all.

Something that Notepad++ has which I find useful is word completion.

For example, if writing a script, when I type:

myVariable
particleId
particlePos

If I want to reuse the word but can't remember how it was written, instead of looking for it I could press a hotkey (for example, alt & enter) and a list would appear with words I'd written.

Using the above words, with NP++, if I started to type myV and press Ctrl & Enter a box appears with 'myVariable'. If I type par, a box appears with 'particleId & particlePos'.

You get the idea.

Maybe a feature could be brought in where when the user starts to re-type a word a symbol appears saying there is a matching word in the list.
