Description
Is that possible?
Besides the fact that I am accustomed to these keys is also not the same feature which in some cases is provided by the LSP. At least Ctrl-P in the insert mode should provide word completion on all found words in a document (maybe also from open documents) and subsequently Ctrl-X (optionally followed by Ctrl-P / N) for extending a longer string by its occurrences.
That would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Research direction
No file or test is identified in the issue. Start by locating the insert-mode keybinding and completion entry points, then compare the requested CTRL-P/CTRL-N word completion and CTRL-X continuation behavior with existing LSP completion. Done means the documented key sequences work across words in the current document, with the requested continuation behavior.
