Description

The autocompletion always seems to offer standard classes and keywords not considering text left to the cursor, resulting in hundrets of - in my opinion - useless proposals

codecompletion

In the example I would expect some result filtering. Ex selecting the entry 'yield' results in "myield" in the editor, which is totally useless.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue using the attached JavaScript autocompletion example and inspect the project's JavaScript completion path. Confirm how text before the cursor affects proposals and verify that selecting yield no longer produces myield; the issue is done when irrelevant proposals are filtered by context.
