const myEditor = monaco.editor.create(document.getElementById("container"), {
	value,
	language: "sql",
	automaticLayout: true,
	matchOnWordStartOnly: false,
});
monaco.languages.registerCompletionItemProvider("sql", {
	triggerCharacters: [" "],
	provideCompletionItems: () => {
		return {
			suggestions: [
				{
					label: "abc",
					kind: monaco.languages.CompletionItemKind.Text,
				},
				{
					label: "abcnamed",
					kind: monaco.languages.CompletionItemKind.Text,
				}
			]
		}
	}

Research direction

Start with the linked Monaco Editor Playground reproduction and the completion provider using matchOnWordStartOnly: false. Reproduce the space-then-name sequence, then trace how forced completion filtering handles the option; done means the suggestions remain available and the expected abcname result is shown.
