[wingide-users] feature suggestion: completion+merging

[David Montgomery]

Hi,

Let's say we have the following two variables in scope:
 child_foobar
 parent_foobar

Let's say we copy some code that works with child_foobar,
and we're now modifying it to use parent_foobar.

Let's say we select "child" of the copied "child_foobar", and
we begin to type "parent".  After typing 'p' and 'a', we'll have
text like "pa|_foobar" (where "|" indicates the cursor).  And
we'll have the completion box offering to complete "parent_foobar".

If we select that completion, we'll get "parent_foobar_foobar".

What would be nice is if Wing realized that the string it was
inserting ("rent_foobar") ended with the rest of the word after
the cursor ("_foobar"), and it merged these two to give just
"parent_foobar".

I remember Visual Assist doing this, and I really appreciated
it when they put it in.

David
