Autocomplete Support

Feature Request

Description

Implement an autocomplete feature in CodeAstra that provides real-time suggestions for code completion as the user types. This feature should support context-aware suggestions for programming languages, file paths, commands, and other relevant elements within the editor.

Motivation

Autocomplete will significantly enhance productivity by reducing the need for manual typing and minimizing syntax errors. It will also improve the user experience by helping developers quickly find and insert code elements, APIs, or file paths, leading to faster development and fewer mistakes. This feature will align CodeAstra with modern code editors.

Tasks

• Design the autocomplete UX for the code editor interface
• Develop a suggestion engine that offers relevant completions based on the current context (e.g., language syntax, file structure)
• Implement keyboard navigation (arrow keys, tab, enter) to select suggestions
• Provide an option to enable/disable autocomplete or customize it
• Write tests to ensure accuracy and performance
• Update documentation to guide users in configuring and using the feature

Acceptance Criteria

• Autocomplete suggestions appear in real-time as the user types
• Suggestions are relevant and context-aware (e.g., based on code structure, file paths, or syntax)
• Smooth navigation through suggestions using arrow keys and selection with Tab or Enter
• Performance remains fast, even for large codebases
• Users can toggle the feature on/off and adjust settings via preferences
• Well-documented in the user guide

Additional Context

Consider inspiration from existing implementations in editors like VS Code, Neovim, or modern CLI tools.
