Description

It will be great to have this feature in micro, and it would be language agnostic. Open auto-complete with < Tab > (if the current word partials match don't insert character) or some other shortcut (Ctrl+Space) and use up and down to navigate the suggestion list.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating micro's existing key-handling and completion-related entry points, then determine how open buffers and suggestion navigation fit together. Done means language-agnostic suggestions from open buffers, a documented activation shortcut, and Up/Down navigation without inserting Tab when matches exist.
