[P101-14] Customizing autocomplete with on_query_completions in Sublime
Sublime has a built in autocomplete system that uses information in the files you're editing to offer suggestions for what you might want to type next. This is a great time saver, but what if you want to customize what appears in the list?
Sublime's on_query_completions event is the answer to this question. By implementing a handler for this event, you get notified every time the autocomplete panel is about to open, allowing you to add any additional completions you might like.
In this lesson, we do a detailed breakdown of the on_query_completions event, when it's triggered, and the variety of ways that you can signal your completion information back to Sublime for maximum effect.
