Description

I am using this package to create a prompt to display a certain list of words on tab press.
It works fine.
But is there something that can be done when I write a word and press tab it shows a suggested list of words based on the previous word written.
For example, the actual suggested list contains ['show', 'set', 'value', 'print']

Now, whenever in prompt I write 'show' and press tab it will only show me 'value' as a suggestion instead of 'print' or 'set' which doesn't make any sense.

Thanks.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the tab-completion implementation and how the current suggested word list is supplied; clarify how the previous word should select suggestions. Done means tab completion consistently filters or replaces the list according to the preceding word, with tests covering the example behavior.
