Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (choose one): FEATURE REQUEST
In stock Vim you can press <C-X><C-L> to complete the rest of the current line from all matching lines in all open buffers. You can also press <C-X><C-F> to complete the current path from matching paths on the filesystem. Might there be any interest in adding support here for these powerful features? Thanks for your consideration and for the great work on VSCodeVim!
Environment:
- VSCode Version: 1.18.0
- VsCodeVim Version: 0.10.2
- OS: macOS 10.12.6

Research direction
Start by tracing how VSCodeVim handles Vim completion key sequences and compare the requested and behaviors with stock Vim. Done means both completions work in the relevant VS Code contexts, with coverage for matching lines across open buffers and paths on the filesystem.
