Description

Environment
  • TeXstudio: 2.12.6 (why are the new binaries so huge?! And well setting up dark theme is very time consuming :/)
  • Qt: 5.6.2
  • OS: Windows 10 Build 1903
  • TeX distribution: miktex
Suggestion

I am typing latex code live in lectures and it would help a lot, when i have to type Wahrscheinlichkeitsraum, simply type Wahr and see auto completion for normal words. That is really the only thing, which I am missing in texstudio right now.

I am pretty sure, this has been asked like a lot of times before. Why was this not implemented? To much work? (i would even pay for that something, it would make my life so much easier and faster when typing notes ... )

Thanks in advance

Research direction

The issue does not mention any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating TeXstudio's existing completion behavior and determine how normal-word suggestions should interact with LaTeX command completion; done means ordinary words such as “Wahrscheinlichkeitsraum” can be suggested while typing a prefix like “Wahr”.
